Add the sugar, corn syrup, water, Ghirardelli chocolate and salt over high heat stirring constantly until your candy thermometer reads 260º degrees or until a small amount placed in cold water forms into a hard ball.
Remove from heat add the butter and vanilla extract and stir well. Grease a dish generously with butter and pour the mixture and allow to cool.
Grease your hands with butter. When the taffy has cooled enough to handle take the taffy and pull until it has a satiny gloss, about 10 minutes.
The reason for pulling the taffy is to incorporate many tiny air bubbles throughout the candy. This makes it lighter and chewier.
Make a 1/2 inch diameter rope with the taffy, cut with a greased knife or scissors, allow to sit out for about 20 minutes then wrap in wax paper.
