Taffy is a summertime favorite because it does not melt like caramel, chocolate or nougat bars. It is an enjoyable treat all year long. A favorite practice of many people is to put it in the refrigerator and crack it into bite sized pieces. We think you will find that Doscher's possesses a great taste, texture and shape. Doscher's Candies, founded in 1871, have been making the taffy for over a century. Doscher's is a small, independent candy company making taffy by hand in Cincinnati, in copper kettles dating back to 1893. It is made five days a week at a rate of about 75 bars per minute. We personally love this stuff! If you are looking for an alternative to the mediocre, factory produced candy you find at the checkout stand of the local chain store, try this old-time treat with the handmade flavor.
