watermelon saltwater taffy




truly the best, most amazing candy on earth. and it is straight from the earth! mother nature knows what she's doing guys...i pretty much could live off this stuff. 

how to:
1 seedless watermelon (firm is best as opposed to soggy)
1 to 2 T flaked sea salt

-slice watermelon into strips 1/3 inch thick, and 2 to 2-1/2 inches wide. (you can also dehydrate the extra odd shaped pieces to roll up with other odd shaped pieces when dry) remove watermelon rind.
-lay out on dehydrator trays and lightly sprinkle with sea salt 
-dehydrate for 24-48 hours at 115F. time will vary depending on thickness. you may need to pull out a few pieces early that get done sooner. check on watermelon every 8 to 12 hours, flip pieces over half way through.
-when all the watermelon “jerky” is dry, roll up the jerky in taffy sized pieces and garnish with extra sea salt, to taste. 
-option to wrap in rectangle pieces of parchment paper and twist the ends, or just store in a plastic bag.

***this “candy” is the chewiest and most taffy like when enjoyed at room temp. i store it in the fridge though, because i also enjoy it chilled!
