At work with a saltwater taffy maker

from OPB Audio · host Oregon Public Broadcasting

In many beach towns, nostalgia is unlocked by nothing more easily than saltwater taffy. The Oregon coast is no different. But why is it called "saltwater" taffy anyway? And how does the sweet, stretchy, chewy stuff get made? For OPB's latest "At Work With" interview, we asked a Cannon Beach family that’s been in the taffy making business for more than 60 years.
