Yes, chews are another name for the same thing. It is what salt water taffy is called in Britain. Salt water taffy contains sugar, cornstarch, corn syrup, water, salt, and flavoring. You can make salt water taffy in all kinds of flavors.
The most popular flavors according to Taffy Shop are peppermint, vanilla, banana, watermelon, frosted cupcake, cotton candy, raspberry, and strawberry. Tip: If you are making any of these flavors at home, you can use candy flavoring from LorAnn. You can buy a 24 pack of different flavors very inexpensively. Once you own them, you can also you use them to flavor other candy recipes like homemade jelly beans. I like to make mine by using vanilla or vanilla bean paste vanilla that includes the vanilla beans and nonpareils small round sprinkles.
Note that the ingredients include corn syrup. Corn syrup is not the same as high fructose corn syrup. While both products are made from corn starch, regular corn syrup is percent glucose, while high-fructose corn syrup has had some of its glucose converted to fructose enzymatically. Always check product ingredients to ensure that you are buying the right one when you make candy at home. But, there is one kitchen item that is required. These come in all different varieties, but a really cheap one will work just fine.
Tip: Make sure your candy thermometer has a clip to attach to your pot. This will make your life easier. Place sugar, cornstarch, corn syrup, butter, water, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan on medium-high heat and mix thoroughly. Heat until the mixture reaches F on a candy thermometer and immediately remove from the heat. The higher the temperature, the harder the taffy will be. Mix flavoring into the hot taffy. I used vanilla bean paste in my taffy. Tip: This is also when you would mix in food coloring.
When it is cool enough to touch, butter your hands, form a big ball, and begin to stretch and pull. Tip: Buttering your hands is really important. Taffy is VERY sticky! Tip: Do not skip the pulling stage! Pulling the taffy aerates taffy, which makes it softer and more chewy. Just have fun! Tip: As crazy as it sounds, it will make it easier to cut the taffy if you butter your scissors.
Be careful not to cut yourself. Tip: While parchment paper and wax paper are both non-stick, wax paper works much better for rolling up candy.

Could this be the problem causing the taffy to be getting too hard and chewy? And if so, what could I do about this? Hi Chad, Oh, it's been ages since I've made some wonderful homemade taffy - literally years! My first guess on the cause of your taffy getting too hard and chewy is that you are cooking it to too high a temperature. I found this terrific step-by-step recipe on Joshua Elek's blog , where he really spells out the process. Hopefully Josh won't mind if I add it here for you.
Pour water, corn syrup, butter and vinegar into pan. Add Sugar mixture - By pouring the sugar on top of the liquid, instead of the liquid on top of the sugar, you won't have to stir as much while the syrup cooks, and you'll reduce the chance of burning the mixture and of recrystallizing the sugars.
Be sure to stir carefully, you don't want the sugar crystals getting on the edges of the pan because if one crystal fell into the syrup, it could start a chain reaction crystallizing the syrup.
There are two different sugars in this syrup, glucose and fructose, if you stir too much, or if a crystal falls in after the water boils off those two sugars can crystallize into sucrose, which is granulated. Secondly, be sure to take the candy off the burner when the thermometer is a bit below The temperature will raise to the correct temperature while they syrup is off the burner.
Pour syrup out onto buttered cookie sheet, let stand fifteen to twenty minutes. If not, a cookie sheet works just as well. Either way, you'll want something with edges to make sure the syrup doesn't go on the counter. You can add the coloring and flavoring whenever you want as long as the syrup is no longer boiling. If you add the flavoring while the syrup is boiling, the flavoring will boil off and the candy will have little to no flavor.
I like to add the flavoring and coloring after the candy has cooled because it allows me to separate the taffy into different parts if I want to make more than one flavor at a time.
When cool, knead taffy together to remove from cookie sheet. If it sticks to the pan at all, let it sit for five more minutes, if the cookie sheet has even a little bit of butter on it, the taffy won't stick. Oh, you'll want to butter your hands a little bit to keep the taffy from sticking to your hands.
Oh, and you don't want to put it in the fridge or freezer to speed up cooling time I don't know why, it just results in candy that snaps apart when you try to pull it. Push small well into taffy and add coloring and flavoring. A dram is a small bottle. Pull taffy for ten to fifteen minutes.
