About Candies, taffy, prepared-from-recipe
Homemade taffy is pulled sugar candy: corn syrup, sugar, and butter or oil cooked to the hard-ball stage, then cooled and stretched repeatedly until it becomes light and chewy. The stretching incorporates air but does not change the nutritional profile much - carbohydrates are almost entirely sugar, fat is low, protein is essentially zero, and fiber is absent. The work of pulling it is most of the fun.
