Molasses Taffy Pull

In 2 quart saucepan, put molasses, sugar and butter. Cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Cook on higher heat until syrup, when dropped in very cold water, forms threads whick are hard but not brittle. Pour into greased platter and wait. As edges cool, fold toward center or they will harden before rest is ready for pulling. When candy is cool enough to handle, press into a ball with lightly buttered fingers. Pull until candy is light in color. When it becomes hard to pull, stretch candy into a long twisted rope. Cut pieces and wrap in waxed paper.
