A Brief History of Salt Water Taffy

The origin of salt water taffy dates back to the late 19th century in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The name "salt water taffy" is somewhat misleading, as the candy does not actually contain salt water. The story goes that a candy store owner named David Bradley had his stock of taffy drenched in ocean water during a flood, and a young girl mistakenly asked for "salt water taffy" when she wanted to buy some. The name stuck, and the delicious candy has been a staple of American boardwalks ever since.

Thanks to its unique texture and delightful flavors, salt water taffy gained widespread popularity, and candy makers began experimenting with various ingredients and techniques to create the perfect treat. Today, salt water taffy is enjoyed by people of all ages, and it has become a symbol of summertime happiness.
