Mix well all ingredients in pan. On medium-high, stir ingredients 20-30 minutes. When you can easily see the bottom of the pan when stirring with your spoon, take a small amount of the taffy and drop into a cup of water. When you take the taffy out of the water with your hands and it sticks into a ball, it’s ready.
When ready, butter a shallow bowl or pie pan and put taffy in bowl to cool. On a separate plate, pour a layer of the chocolate sprinkles. After taffy has cooled, butter hands and roll into small balls. Roll balls into plate of chocolate sprinkles and place in small paper cups.
Store in tupperware container with lid until ready to serve.
