Taffy

Nickname from Dafydd

Taffy is a chewy candy made by stretching and pulling boiled sugar until it becomes light and porous.

Saltwater taffy, despite its name, contains little or no seawater—it's a boardwalk confection associated with American beach towns.

The pulling process incorporates air, giving taffy its distinctive texture.

Capitalized Taffy is a nickname for a Welsh person, from the Welsh pronunciation of David.
