Summer means Salt Water Taffy!
Summer is in the air, and that means one thing, Salt Water Taffy!
It's one of our very favourite candies that comes in an endless variety of delicious flavours.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no salt in Salt Water Taffy. The name implies how this candy was created, and let's just say it took the world by storm!
This old-fashioned candy is over 125 years old and got its sweet start in New Jersey Atlantic City.
A huge storm in 1883 had ushered in water through the stores on the boardwalk. One was a candy store owned by David Bradley, who happened to sell taffy candy. His candy became soaked during the storm, and a hungry customer asked if he had any candy left. He replied, "I have Salt Water Taffy".
The name certainly stuck, and saltwater candy has since become a worldwide sensation!
