Salt water Taffy is famous for its unique recipe, using egg whites to create a whipped nougat style taffy with a soft texture that melts in your mouth with the most delicious flavors and despite its name most flavours aren’t actually salty.

Taffy was named after an 1883 incident in Atlantic City where a boardwalk candy shop owned by David Bradley flooded with Atlantic Ocean water, soaking his stock. A customer asked for "salt water taffy" as a joke, and the name stuck because of its seaside, touristy origin, despite containing no actual ocean water.
