Tricolor Taffy
This recipe is from food 911 at food tv.i haven't tried it yet but i think it would take longer than 15 minutes that the recipe says.it looked easy to make and any flavorings and coloring could be added.
Steps

Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
Wash down the inside wall of the pot with a wet pastry brush if necessary.
Remove from heat , stir in the butter and vanilla.
Coat 3 sheet pans with nonstick spray.
Pour the mixture onto the sheet pans , dividing in 3 equal portions.
Mix the peppermint extract and a couple of drops of green food coloring in 1 batch.
Mix the orange extract and a couple of drops of yellow food coloring in another batch.
Leave the plain vanilla batch as is.
As the candy cools , lift the edges toward the center with a metal spatula or bench scraper so they dont harden.
When just cool enough to handle , butter your hands and pull the taffy into long ropes.
Twist and pull until the taffy is stiff and the color is even.
Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces with clean .
