Turkish Taffy

Turkish Taffy was invented by Austrian immigrant Herman Herer in 1912. Turkish Taffy is a hard and crunchy yet chewy candy. When the candy was first sold it was sold in large sheets to Woolworth’s. Woolworth’s then broke off the candy using a ball-peen hammer then sold by weight at the counter. Today’s Turkish Taffy comes in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana.
