Laffy Taffy is a brand of taffy manufactured by Nestlé and sold under its Willy Wonka Candy Company brand. It is a small (about 1.5 oz or 45 g) individually wrapped taffy available in a variety of fruit flavors, as well as a chocolate mousse flavor. In 2003, Wonka introduced a variety called "Flavor Flippers", a piece of taffy that had a soft center with a different flavor.

The name refers to both the texture of the taffy as well as its comedic character: on the outside of each wrapper are one or more jokes, contributed by someone who writes to the company, and are usually puns - for example: "What is brown and sticky? -- A stick," or "What's an owl's favorite subject? -- Owlgebra." These jokes are usually sent in by children who are credited on the wrapper. Laffy Taffy used to come in thick, square shaped pieces, but today, it is sold in thinner, rectangular shaped pieces. It is also made with artificial flavors.
