taffy
Stretchy boardwalk candy
Taffy is a chewy candy made by boiling sugar and butter, then pulling and stretching the mixture repeatedly until it becomes light and airy.
Saltwater taffy, associated with American beach boardwalks, contains no actual seawater.
A taffy pull is a social gathering where people stretch the candy together.
In British English, the same confection is called toffee.
