More Info

Most ordinary middle-class Americans worry about sugar for different reasons than their forebears did. We all know refined sugar wreaks havoc on the waistline, but few of us think much about the price. Love it or hate it, a five pound bag of the stuff can now be had at any supermarket for just a few dollars. This was not always the case.

During the colonial era, only the very rich even sampled the earliest form of white sugar. Most people used molasses derived from sorghum to sweeten everything. By the early 1800s, Americans had learned how to boil a pot of molasses and few other simple ingredients into taffy.

The notoriously sticky candy provided overworked rural people with a bit of social interaction on a Saturday night in the form of a taffy pull. The molten sludge was spread on sheet pans until it was cool enough to touch. Meanwhile, young and old alike covered their hands with butter and began pullingÉand pullingÉand pulling in order to aerate the confection until it grew soft enough to chew. This early taffy was a deep rich brown and was sometimes flavored with a bit of vanilla.

After the invention of corn syrup in 1882, a new sort of taffy appeared. While the candy still needed to be pulled, its lighter hue meant confectioners could add food dyes to make it whatever color they wanted. Pink and green taffy were very popular at county fairs in the Midwest by the late 1890s.

Cotton Tale's splendid chocolate, minty green and pink Taffy collection is a sweet and snuggly treat indeed. This soft and durable easy-care cotton ensemble pairs plaid, dot and striped prints with breathtakingly skillful embroidery to create a cozy, timeless look for your little one's very special sanctuary.

The homey patched quilt intersperses tone-on-tone pink and mint small dot prints with a cheery pink and green plaid and blocks of solid chocolate, enlivened with the help of a delectable pattern of embroidered trailing vines and flowers. The blanket is finished with a charming plaid ruffle.

Four expertly crafted bumpers continue the magic. The longer sections repeat the scrumptious chocolate and floral embroidery. The shorter pieces use plaid and are backed with delectable pink and white pin stripes. Solid pink ties ensure that each section is securely fastened to the crib. A gently gathered plaid dust ruffle only enhances the old-fashioned charm. A pink pinstriped sheet completes the group.

A future heirloom for a deliciously reasonable price. Bite into this one.
