Personal Notes:
Mom use to call hers taffy popcorn. She would cook it only until it formed a soft ball in cold water. She would put pop corn in roasting pan and drizzle the syrup over it. You would eat it that way. Usually served during Bonanza.

Mom would also boil the syrup to hard stage and make taffy out of it. She would pour it on wax paper and let it cool some. You would butter your hands and pull it and stretch it and twist it. then you cut it into pieces.
