How Shriver's Salt Water Taffy Is Made Using A 200-Year-Old Technique | Regional Eats

- Salt water taffy was developed in the late 1800s by Joseph Rowling in Atlantic City. Truth is this taffy has no salt water in it, and instead got its name from its proximity to beach waters, which obviously contain salt. Stores can run about 2,000 pounds of taffy a day. The process starts with corn syrup and lots of it. Salt water taffy is worked at room temperature, a much lower temperature than hard candy. If the salt water taffy is fruit flavored, then citric acid and coloring is added. A cooling machine stretches the taffy while liquid flavor is added. Candy makers stretch the taffy to add in air. That gives the taffy a chewy consistency. Next, the batch is placed into a batch roller and turned into a cylindrical shape. It is then cut, wrapped and sealed.

How Shriver's Salt Water Taffy Is Made Using A 200-Year-Old Technique | Regional Eats
Jersey shore's "most redeeming quality is quite possibly it's salt water taffy".
🤣
Grew up on this stuff.. Laying in bed with my grandmother and eat it with her.. Miss you so much grams..
Lol
Rest in peace to your grandma she's in a better place
@@footrot17 u Outta ur mind?
Rip ❤️
Let's hope you didn't get fat
She is literally a kid in the candy store. 😂
Or a kid in a willy Wonka factory
so wholesome
I doubt she's a literal child.
@@raccoontrashpanda1467 It's her behaviour not age.
@@myview9923 then it isn't literal, it's still figurative, even if she's literally in a candy store.
Love how they all wear gloves, then the dude grabs the taffy and holds it in his arms against his chest. Every single fiber, skin flake, hair, dirt, etc that was on his shirt and arms is now in that candy.
And the TV host picked up the taffy blob in her arms and probably got a nice wax job. An episode of "Small Town Big Deals" with Jann Carl brought me here. She did the same thing, but she wasn't wearing an apron and her hair draped over the taffy. This place should be reported to the health department.
Took soo long to get to this comment thank you agree 100% lol skin flakes
I know right. People in other countries who eat off the ground and wipe their mouths with stones would just cringe knowing that Americans might ingest a particle of a skin flake! 🙄 everything you eat came from the dirt of the ground or from inside the carcass of a creature. Hair and fibers aren’t going to kill you.
U guys are soft. Just eat it and shut up. Smh rich people are annoying
But it taste so good 😋.
So glad Shriver’s is getting national recognition. Insider got it all right: A visit to Shriver’s has been a family tradition for years and years for those who are fortunate enough to visit.
Best taffy on the East Coast and I’ve had many from Jersey to Maryland
@@MiniM69 it is all the same lol
@@overtonesnteatime198 no, it’s not. It’s made daily at the store. You can see them working depending the time of day you go. A lot of places that sell taffy get it a day or 2 after being made.
They DO have the best saltwater taffy.
"I had Laffy Taffy"
Store owner: GTFO!!
Ugh, I loooove Laffy Taffy! They're my favorite. But ONLY the stretchy & tangy variety. I swear the tiny ones and the ropes taste completely different.
@@xxMusic825xx wait hol up hol up
Who asked
Edit: Sarcatic comment yall give me a break🙄
@@065_Jaedon It's a comment section?
@@065_Jaedon At least your username didn't lie.
@@xxMusic825xx but nobody asked you thats the thing
That story of the origin of salt water taffy is an urban myth from my hometown of Atlantic City.
The real story is Joseph Fralinger who founded Fralinger’s Salt Water Taffy in Atlantic City in 1882 simply made it up as a marketing tool to get tourists to think there was some extra special novelty about his product because it was made near the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean.
Definitely owe at least a couple of my cavities to salt water taffy.
Same, my sister and I always begged our mom for a box each year when we went to the beach. Always thanked my lucky stars I never needed braces, summer just wasn't summer without salt water taffy.
This is cool and is definitely something that I want to taste. Fun fact: the host got married today. :)
Congrats to her
Nice
How do you know?
@@yengwood6535 instagram !
I think they do mail order. If you’d like a box.
Shrivers is the best! I never leave my vacation without getting some taffy and mint rolls. When my kids were little the loved watching the taffy machines.
I don't get there often, but Shrivers is my favorite place to visit when I go to OCNJ! Their taffy is my favorite beach treat 😊
That’s some heavy work, that woman is stacked.
That's fat mate. If you actually watched the video, the men did ALL the physical work. Both woman couldn't even lift 25kgs.
@@footrot17 Ikr lmao

@@vegetable1495 empty blue tub. Nice spot mate
@@footrot17 It's not empty you see her pick it up at @1:33 I think they have edited it out of sequence so 1:33 came before 1:23
Super fun to watch! Thanks Food Insider, you all do a great job with these videos!
Saltwater taffy is sooooo good!
... if eaten within a month.
I love taffy my mouth is watering watching the machine stretch it.
These employees are BUFF. They basically get paid to work out 👀
Calm down calm down so do construction workers. 😂
@@waxdoe115 idk man becoming jacked from making candy is way cooler 😗
If they pulled it by hand like the old days they would be far buffer.
Being the host of a show is a constant search for things to be even slightly impressed by
That taffy is awesome. Somebody my coworker knows brought lots from there for us to try.
As I'm eating it while watching! Makes it taste even better!
One of my favorite towns to visit 🥺
Did she ask why is it important to put citric acid in a lime taffy?
Citrus
@@yesqw Citric acid.
Citric acid provides the orange taste.
@@ferrischemistry7879 it provides a sour taste not necessarily an orange taste
@@colinball7438 you know you'd think that the chemist here would know what he was talking about
@@colinball7438 naw man
Used to watch them make it in Gatlinburg as a kid in the 90s. Love this stuff
One of the most entertaining videos to watch lol!
This is my favorite place to get saltwater taffy.
I’m so happy that you’re doing this during COVID!
This is cool. I never knew process was so hard.
my grandma always had some and we lived in new mexico. that stuff is delicious
Not only do I love Saltwater Taffy but it makes a great lint roller too
Gosh the Female employee is so Fun n Savage in her replies!💯😯🤣
She is the President of the place.
@@eonian5511 Yaasss Girl!!💯😂
@@Monish0909 😂😂 "Yaaaas 🥴" how weird
That’s Jersey
@@FriendlyHomie shutup
Good Sharing
Knowledge full
Love to see
Thanks for sharing
Shrivers is litterally the best candy ever, anyone who goes to NJ should go there. Or you can get it online!
grew up in south jersey. which btw is a completely different world than North jersey.. I spent my summers driving down to oc since I'm only an hours drive away. going to the beach there and riding their rides as a kid, and of course..the food! to this day when I go, I have to get chickie and petes crab fries, mack and manco pizza, ans to get fudge from shrivers!! 🥰😋💗
You are right. South Jersey and it's shore towns are a whole different thing. Most people have no clue.
Those are delicious 😋
This is so satisfying!
Love it my 1st job I had to learn how to make taffy 😊
My mom loves this stuff, it’s hard to find it in my area if im being honest but whenever i travel i always make sure to get her some
I have it shipped to me in Texas. I had it as a child on the boardwalk in NJ. Brings back happy memories.
This is so satisfying.
So good,
This is really cute
Arms sweat at more flavor. YUMMIE Yummie
Love her 😍🥰💐
Wow yummy, i love eating 😝😝😝
I always get me some salt water taffy when placing an order with *Urainus fudge packers* I sure love candy
Merci de cette vidéo très Éducative
I love taffy
Want to try it so bad 😍
Finally I know way it's called salt water taffy. Now I can die in peace.
I like this host, she has HUMOR
The host killed it. Well done
OC represent!!
Yum 😋
Interesting vid
Corn syrup, yummmmmm
She is like that kid who keeps annoys you every time you are working.
Wow you can stick your finger right in that machine. Cool!
Anyone eating taffy and watching this? 🍬🍬
Wow. !
Never had that, but this looks yum😮
Hey so sorry about ur situation. May I ask y u have yet to produce any content. From what I have seen ppl record all kinds of stuff n get $ from it. I am sure a person can get some income from content. My lil sis is in bad shape n makes videos on YT. I am not coming at you sideways, just wondering.
@@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat i really wish i have a working camera. The phone im using is just an old samsung on7 with a broken camera. I cant even store photos here because it kept saying "memory full", tho i dont have anything here but this pre-installed YT app and Internet browser app. And the only reason why im able to have internet is when I go near a neighbor who got public wifi.
Making content sounds easy but we all know you need to have the right materials and a good content in order to earn money. 1000 subscribers and 10000 watch hours, I believe, in order for you to apply for the monetization. If only I have the materials, i wouldve tried. Anything just to make my family's life better. There's nothing I wouldnt do.
@@PleaseViewMyChannel aww man I am so sorry about that. It seems like if we just had a chance to catch our breath we could get in a better place. Just keep getting kicked when we r already on our knees. I just spent 996 days in the hospital. Boy what a thing 2 go thru. However, I moved to Japan 6 weeks b4 I went 2 the hospital. Such a change in the mentality here. I see how the U.S. seems 2 get worse every day and it breaks my heart. Plz feel free to kit. I gotto go.
“About 95°”
Me ass in Las Vegas: yo that cold af
Yum
I can see Ross and Mona watching this documentary
I’m literally here because of that episode lol
whoever reading my comment, may you find health and peace.
Salt water taffy is the prize of almost every beach town
Wow... Really amazing..
Do you mean that sarcasumly
@Bruce Wayne no he means sarcasumly
FINALLY SOMEWHERE I LIVE NEAR
6:45
"Mah lil' baby"
Being slowly fed into an industrial press =D
Loved her questions.
Just got back from a trip down there and got a box from this place and I was like "why is it called saltwater taffy" haha but yeah we were staying between Wildwood and Ocean City and both places are great! Especially for children and families. My first time visiting both and I was in love! The only jersey shore I had been to before was Seaside Heights but lemme tell you Wildwood is sooo much better no offense 😂
i used to always go here when i lived in somers point
She foreal. 2 of each. Best of all.
Anyone know why the Taffy would turn into hard candy after stretching it for 15 - 20 minutes? I tried making a couple of batches starting at 250° f and going lower to 230° f and it still turned into rock hard candy.
Yup. Been there.
I have seen this video 1 second a go
Watching as i eat salt water taffy
I live in New Jersey, and still haven’t had one of these. Maybe I should try one.
What part?
Same, but why does jersey shore have a bad rep? Why?
@@recnews2003 Just watch the show and you would understand
@@recnews2003 it doesn’t have a bad rep....are you talking about that scripted “reality” show?
@@ARogolino1 OC is about an hour or so away from Seaside Heights too....we don’t carry north jerseys trash down here, just Philly trash in the summer months
Maybe it's called saltwater taffy cuz his store was by the saltwater?
LOL last week I was in a candy store and couldn't decide what flavor of taffy I wanted so I put a little of every one in my bag. I walked out with about two pounds of taffy...
Taffy lady: so here’s the right way to do it
Interviewer: *does it wrong*
Lady taffy: there ya go…!
Me having a panic attack every time the taffy connects to their hairy arms.
Waoooooo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She is putting all those different taffys together and, speaking from personal experience, she is never going to know what she is putting in her mouth until she tastes it! LOL!
I never seen long taffy like this, in my area they are all cubes
Such a cutie she is ❤️
You go to Shrivers for taffy but keep going back for the chalky mint rolls.
Shrivers?
Sheeeeshhhh
Ye
Dis man is first
😩
-obvious question
-answer
-"oh wow 😯"
I get it though, it can be awkward to try to prompt people to give particular sound bites if they're not used to being interviewed. the one thing I was told the first time I got interviewed was to answer questions by rephrasing the question in the answer so that the interviewer asking the question could be cut out and the answer made sense as a statement on its own.
She has such a cute voice.
BANANA TAFFY BABY WKWWKK
New video😊😊😊
Non stick wrappers 🌞
Saltwater taffy is awesome, unless you have a filling
Approved by Detective Scully
Yumm.....do you deliver?? 😄
Uranus fudge packers sure do and man oh man is it good
I Never tried it and thought it really had salt in it. After seeing US people frying burgers covered in chocolate I am not that surprised tough
And they complain if someone's skin get anywhere near something that's mostly made of sugar or that's gonna be baked
'muricans...
@@riccardobianco2659 Some people are complete hypochondriacs, they think any sort of touch to food is magically going to contaminate it in some way that makes it inedible.
I'd love to see their reactions for what people use to do this bare handed all day and everyone was perfectly fine.
"why do you put citric acid in lime flavoured candy?"
absolute genius
It's her job to ask those kinds of questions lol, it's an interview and she needs to prompt the person to talk about the topic
This reminds me of Ross and Mona (friends)
Medha is too adorable.
Ok????
Molasses has always been my favorite. Or molasses mint.
I live like 10 minutes away from this place. And during the heatwave summertime the wax paper sometimes will melt the salt water taffy making a paper a mess but it’s not that bad.
In the summer months, I try to keep a box in an air conditioned room or may keep in the fridge. If you keep it in the fridge, take it out at least a half hour before you eat it - take lid and paper liner cover off. Should be ok.
Yeah don’t store on the window sill or your dashboard... 😂
