Instructions (9 steps)

01In a large saucepan, combine natilla and sugar. Stir until smooth.
02Over medium heat, boil mixture until it becomes a golden brown color.
03On a cool counter (ceramic, aluminum, etc) or large baking sheet, pour bubbling mixture out. Allow mixture to cool until sticky to the touch (like taffy).
04Lift cooled taffy substance and roll into a ball. Begin to stretch and roll to mix. This is best done on a wooden pole.
05Bring mixture inside and place on an aluminum work space.
06Divide taffy into 8-10 pieces and roll each piece out into a long rope.
07Allow ropes to cool until firm. Place individual ropes on a wooden cutting block and cut the candies into 1/4" pieces (about 10 centimeters)
