Molasses Taffy

2 cups molasses

⅛ teaspoon soda

1 cup granulated sugar

4 tablespoons butter

¾ cup water

½ teaspoon vanilla

Cook the molasses, sugar and water slowly to the hard-ball stage, or 260° F., stirring during the latter part of the cooking to prevent its burning. Remove from the fire, add the butter, soda and vanilla and stir enough to mix. Pour into a greased pan and, when cool enough to handle, pull it into a long rope and cut with scissors into small pieces.
