Turkish Taffy, also known as Turkish Delight, is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed in Turkey and throughout the Mediterranean for centuries. Made with only a few simple ingredients, this taffy is chewy, sweet, and customizable with any flavor or extract. It is a perfect treat that can be made for a crowd, or enjoyed as a solo indulgence, and is sure to leave your sweet tooth satisfied.

Instructions

1.	Grease a baking pan and set aside.
2.	In a saucepan, combine white sugar, light Karo syrup, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.

4.	Immediately pour the hot mixture into the prepared pan and let it cool completely.
5.	Once the taffy has cooled, use a greased pair of kitchen scissors to cut it into bite-sized pieces.
6.	Wrap each piece in waxed paper to avoid sticking, and store the taffy in an airtight container.
