MOLASSES TAFFY 
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c. molasses
1/8 tsp. salt
Butter

In heavy, shallow saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, molasses and salt. Cook over medium heat; stir constantly, to 235 degrees on candy thermometer or until a little dropped into very cold water forms a semi-firm ball which holds its shape when taken from the water.

Immediately remove from heat. Pour into a buttered 8-inch square pan. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Pull taffy between buttered fingers until shiny and light colored. Twist into a rope about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 1- inch pieces with kitchen scissors. If desired, wrap taffy. Makes 3/4 pound.
