taffies

Soft pulled sweets

Taffies is the plural of taffy, a chewy candy made by boiling sugar or molasses and pulling it repeatedly until it becomes light and airy.

Saltwater taffy is a classic American boardwalk treat, though it contains no actual seawater: We brought back taffies from Atlantic City.
