LAFFY TAFFY BANANA ROPE

Today we are taking a trip down the confectionary aisle to take a look at a particular flavour of the make Laffy Taffy. Before we delve into the flavour let’s have a look at what Laffy Taffy brand for those who have not heard of it before.

Laffy Taffy is an American brand of the confectionary Taffy – a type of candy that is stretchy and sticky – sort of like a variation of the United Kingdoms chewy sweet.

Laffy Taffy was founded in the 1970s and it is now produced by the Ferrara Candy Company – the name refers to the texture of the candy and the silliness of the sweet – each wrapper has a joke on it.

Banana Rope is one of the candies that are part of the Laffy Taffy family. This particular version of the candy is thin and long and promotes the sweet flavours of banana. The candy also has the smell of bananas as well. It can be purchased cheaply in grocery stores.

When you research this sweet online you are welcomed with incredibly positive reviews with members of the public praising the banana flavour and how addictive it is.
