is it supposed to be hard when you cut it?Like, rock hard?

[yoyomax12]

@quill559 It would be too hard to cut when it is rock hard, better to cut when it is softer

Thanks for the help! I started work this year at Kings Landing Historical Settlement, in Prince William, NewBrunswick. I am going to be making pull taffy this weekend, and I have never made it before. (wish me luck) lol

@1firefightergal How's the job going? Did the taffy turn out?

Cool i just made this, looks almost exactly like it. Only for me it's very hard to pull and my hands keep on slipping off of it. I think i put too much grease on the pan. But it tastes good. Thank you for the instructions.

@Scrapper246 No, you have it right! It is hard to pull and your hands do slip off, lol.

Thanks.

@yoyomax12 the job is going great, I love working there. The taffy turned out very good, one of the best in the village! I ended up making it on Saturday and Sunday. Visitors got to see how it was made and get to try it. I was even able to suprise a few with my new found knowledge of taffy pulls and the feast of St Catherine! lol Thanks again for your help!
