Brazil-nut Taffy
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare Brazil nuts as you would for walnut or hickory-nut taffy, but do not use molasses.
Once the taffy is done, remove it from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
Mark the taffy into sticks while it is still warm.
Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
