Bonomo Turkish Taffy is a classic throwback candy famous for its playful “smack it, crack it” tradition. First created in 1912, this iconic treat is designed to be snapped into bite-size pieces before enjoying its signature chew.
Despite the name, Turkish Taffy isn’t actually taffy—it’s a short nougat. At room temperature, it’s firm and brittle, but once it warms in your mouth, it softens into a smooth, chewy delight with a rich, creamy sweetness.
Originally invented by Austrian immigrant Herman Herer and later popularized by Victor Bonomo, this beloved candy became a mid-century favorite. Though discontinued in 1989, overwhelming demand brought it back in 2010—much to the joy of nostalgic candy lovers everywhere.
Each bar is typically sold in a 1.5 oz size, just like you remember.
Ingredients include corn syrup, sugar, egg albumen, and flavorings.
A true old-school candy experience—fun, flavorful, and full of sweet memories
