2 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. oil of peppermint
7 drops green food coloring

Combine sugar, syrup, salt and 1 1/2 cups water in pan. Cook slowly, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Cook to hard ball stage without stirring. Remove from heat; stir in remaining ingredients.

Pour into buttered jelly roll pan. Cool until its cool enough to handle. Butter hands, gather taffy into a ball and pull (this is best with a partner!). When candy is light in color and gets hard to pull, cut into 4ths, pull each strand into long strand about 1/2 inch thick; with buttered scissors, quickly snip into bite size pieces.
