I kid you not.
It's on my calendar.

And how awesome is that? There should be an official day of celebrating this sweet, chewy, happy-colored candy. Taffy always reminds me of summer. Probably because I grew up in Myrtle Beach, where every bargain beach store on every corner sells it. And there are specialty shops that sell it, too. I remember as a kid walking in and watching the big machines pull and twist it and shoot it into wrappers, and then they'd usually let you try a few pieces for free, too. I always had the hardest time deciding what to pick - there were barrels and barrels full of every flavor imaginable... yum!
You're craving taffy now, aren't you?
Well, the good news is, if you don't happen to live near a quality taffy store, you can make it yourself!
The talented Abi of Vanilla and Lace has posted a delicious recipe and all the instructions you need.
Thanks to her, too, for the beautiful photographs above!
Happy Taffy Day!

This is so cool. I love saltwater taffy. And tootsie rolls, which I know isn't the same thing but it has the same texture so I think it should count. ;)
