What does TAFFY mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A chewy candy made by boiling and pulling sugar or molasses with butter until it becomes soft and elastic.
Taffy gets its stretchy texture from repeated pulling of the hot sugar mixture, a process that traps air and lightens the colour while making the candy easier to chew. It is closely related to what British English calls toffee, though the two words are not always used for exactly the same product. Fairs, seaside boardwalks and old-fashioned candy shops are traditional places to find fresh taffy being pulled and sold.
