How to Make Johnny Bull Taffy
- On a sheet pan or rimmed cookie sheet break up walnuts into pieces and set aside
- Add all ingredients except the Butter and Walnuts to pan stir to incorporate but stop when mixed well
NOTE - the water and vinegar should not exceed 2/3 cup together in mixture -- be careful of the ratio - Bring ingredients to a bubbling state - DO NOT STIR EVER once all starts to cook.
- Once mixture is bubbling add the Butter
DO NOT STIR in butter - it will melt
NEVER STIR once cooking starts - Boil to a hard crack stage (check with candy thermometer)
- Once mixture reaches hard crack stage - remove from heat and pore over Walnuts on cooking sheet and cool
- When cook break into pieces and ENJOY!
