- Add in the white chocolate chips and continue to microwave until soft.
- Place the marshmallows on top of the mixture, and microwave once more until they are puffed.
- Place the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer, and beat until room temperature.
- In a small bowl, make a batch of thick frosting with about 2 cups of powdered sugar and ¼ cup of heavy cream.
- Add the frosting into the candy corn mixture and beat until the taffy lightens in color and starts to lose its gloss.
- Add in more powdered sugar ¼ cup at a time until you can touch the taffy and it does not stick to your hand (about ¾ cup).
- Sprinkle powdered sugar over a large piece of wax paper, and place the taffy on top to rest for a few minutes.
- Divide the taffy into four pieces, and start pulling and folding it, coating your hands in powdered sugar as needed to avoid sticking.
- Roll out the taffy into thin logs and cut into small pieces.
- Wrap the individual pieces of taffy in small pieces of wax paper and twist the ends.
