Steps:
- Add the sugar to a large pot fitted with a candy thermometer. Sift in the cornstarch and whisk into the sugar until well-combined. Add the butter, corn syrup, salt, water, vanilla, and flavor extract of choice to the pot. Whisk to combine, then turn the heat to medium and cook until the mixture reaches 250°F (120°C).
- Add the food coloring and stir to combine.
- Pour the candy into a greased heatproof dish and cool until you are able to handle it, 5-10 minutes.
- Stretch the mixture out 12 inches (30 cm) (or further) and fold it over itself again and again for 10-15 minutes. The taffy will turn from translucent to opaque.
- When the taffy becomes harder to pull, roll it to about a 30-inch (76-cm) long and 1-inch (2-cm) thick log on a greased surface. Cut the log in half. Then slice the taffy into bite-size chunks.
- Wrap each piece of taffy in a square of parchment paper and twist the ends to seal.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar: If you do, the taffy will be too hard.
- Work quickly once the sugar has reached the desired temperature: The taffy will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to get it into the pan and cut it into pieces.
- Use a light-colored pan: This will help you see the color of the sugar as it cooks.
- Have all of your ingredients and equipment ready before you start cooking: This will help you avoid any mishaps.
