Taffy Town In Utah Has More Than 90 Flavors Of Salt Water Taffy

Step into a candy store, and you’ll immediately be transported right back to your childhood. There’s just nothing like being surrounded by tons and tons of sugary goodness (and knowing that you can buy whatever you want since you’re an adult now!) Here’s a candy company that’s been serving Utahns for more than 100 years, and you’ll want to sink your teeth into the taffy it creates:

James Vernon Glade opened his candy store in Utah back in 1916. The company celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2016!

Glade Candy Co. originally made all kinds of candy, from salt water taffy, to hard candies, to chocolates. In the mid-1990s, the company realized that the salt water taffy was its most popular line, so the family decided to focus on the delicious taffy and changed the company's name to Taffy Town.

Today, Jason Glade is the fourth generation to operate the business, and the factory moved from downtown Salt Lake City to a new location in West Jordan in 2017.

The taffy here is a little bit different from taffy that you'll find elsewhere. Instead of hand-pulling, Taffy Town uses a whipping process that integrates meringue right into the taffy.

This process creates a softy, chewy taffy that's incredibly flavorful and delicious, and it won't stick to your teeth!

Throughout the years, Taffy Town has continued to add more and more flavors, including some that are pretty wild. Have you ever tried chicken and waffle-flavored taffy? How about red velvet cake, or maple bacon taffy?

Taffy Town also makes a line of candy called Simply Taffy. This candy is made with real fruit puree and no artificial colors or flavorings. Choose from banana, blueberry, cranberry, raspberry, mango and pumpkin.

You'll find more than 90 flavors of taffy here, each one just as delicious as the rest.

Taffy Town ships its candy all over the country. You'll find it at candy shops, grocery stores and gift shops.
