To ensure taffy’s lightness, the candy is stretched as it cools. Taffy has many flavors too, but its appeal is in its chewy, light texture. That’s what draws people in, but once in a fudge shop, they learn of the many varieties and combinations of flavors available these days. Of course, there’s no secret about the appeal of fudge-it’s the chocolate. It has become so popular that now there are more shops making fudge than taffy at the coast.
Salt water taffy has been a coastal tradition for more than 100 years, but in the past couple of decades fudge has also gained a devoted following. Yummm! And not just any taffy or fudge but “Oregon Coast made” by candy makers that have been creating these delicious confections for decades. What could be better than walking along the beach and reaching into your pocket for a piece of taffy or fudge to savor along the way.
