Sponge Candy

[@graphicallydeb9897]

I made this today, but I ate most of it… so will make it again tomorrow. I sprinkled a little salt on the chocolate.. yum. My Christmas menu includes your green bean casserole and the cranberry/ apple crostini on puff pastry. Love your recipes, love your videos, you cover so many details.

Love when you talk about grandma, what a wonderful generation of people.

Sponge Candy is a popular thing where i live but never tried making it.. TILL TODAY! So excited! Got my thermometer in the mail today (ordered it while watching this video the other day). Cant wait to make it later!!

[@donnabaker5926]

In Australia we call it Violet Crumble and it is delicious. It is delicious.

[@lauriechrist1333]

Oh my, you made me cried, my mom would make them just for my dad. Brings back so many memories.

[@gwenb4531]

Sponge candy is one of my favorite things, must be a Midwest thing. Hello neighbor, from SE Wisconsin!

[@laurieclarkson9180]

YES! Bring back some Christmas candies & treats!!

[@marykater.7169]

I really enjoy your videos! Your instructions are so easy to follow, and I feel like I'm hanging out in the kitchen with one of my buddies. Especially during these challenging times, that's very comforting! I'm glad I found you!

[@rubymsp1264]

Just found your channel today. I am binge watching and cannot wait for an occasion to make your recipes. And yes, I do need an occasion so I do not just eat it by myself. 🎉

[@graphicallydeb9897]

I loved your videos before!! Sponge Candy is what my Mom called it and I’ve never seen the recipe ever! Sooooo excited! I’m ready to adopt you now.

[@ilovestitch]

These old fashioned style 3-ingredient candies are GREAT bases for DIY candies too! Mix in some almonds or cashews or peanuts, or add a little almond extract or peppermint oil, etc, for whole new flavors.

[@LindaLawver]

Reminds me of my dad we loved making it and eating it

[@DanceAddikt]

It’s called honeycomb in Australia and “hokey pokey” in New Zealand 🤣

[@tinae8433]

🤣 love the grandma reasoning. It's gonna be good!❤

[@Higginsangel]

Can’t wait to try it. Just made your peanut brittle couple days ago and yes I didn’t touch it once I put in pan. Airy bubbles galore. Never have done peanut brittle before but love it. Will try this soon

[@journeytothinify]

I remember this candy! I LOVE it! Never had it dipped before. Brilliant

[@cindybonem494]

There is a candy store in my city it’s 150 years old and they make this but it’s called Sea Foam, it’s in about one inch squares and completely dipped in dark chocolate, it’s one of my favorites.

[@mollywolly4201]

I’ve seen this in candy stores as well, and I have ALWAYS bought a bag of it. Also - Fannie May has a version of chocolate-enrobed honeycomb squares that are fabulous!

[@nanaof07]

I found you through Garden Answer and I just love you!

[@mollywolly4201]

Oh wow I’ve been obsessing about honeycomb candy for about 6 months and am so happy you added this video! We call it honeycomb in the Midwest so of course the recipe I ended up using contained honey in place of the dark Karo. I’m sure mine tasted very different from yours! I wasn’t sure what that dark viscous liquid was that you poured into it at the very end - unless it was some sort of thick vanilla paste something? Looked a bit like molasses; I’ll check the info box. I did learn there are probably 35 names for this stuff; in the UK it’s called cinder toffee. Whatever you call it, it really is a lot of sun to make. Particularly when you’re can do it with a friend who doesn’t know what’s going to happen with the baking soda lava-like situation!

[@jamiegay5528]

This is how I make it too!! Love it 😊 Thank you so much.

[@racinchevy492]

If you are from Upstate New York, particularly the Buffalo Region, there is probably no explanation needed. This sweet Buffalo treat has been expertly crafted by longtime confectioners such as Watson’s, Fowler’s, Alethea’s, and Parkside. If you make smaller pieces you should TOTALLY coat them with chocolate and the sponge will NOT absorb moisture and get gross.

[@paulinewehrer4642]

I crumble this into my oatmeal..it makes it healthy..lol

[@merriehallman4870]

Do you ever make that old fashioned fudge? My mother used to make it in the iron pot with a wooden spoon. Soft boil. I've tried it so many times and I just can't seem to master it. She made cocoa, brown sugar, penuche and peterborough....and sometimes peanut butter. Dad used to save up the butter nuts for one of the cocoa batches

[@princessconsuelabananahamm1571]

Lovely, thanks for sharing! 💕

[@tracyjohnson8057]

My Mom always called it Sea Foam candy.

[@stardroplet9499]

Mind reader! There was a candy similar to this made in a small town in Mexico and I’m hoping to replicate it with the help of your recipe 😋

[@susiesearight5740]

You are so stinking cute!! Seriously! This grandma loves the Grandma comments!!

[@stacieteegarden1139]

Try orange flavored chocolate (Brachs) brand.... delicious

[@spacecat5517]

Oh my gosh, yes!!!

[@mollywolly4201]

Can’t believe I forgot what I intended to post originally! What got me started on my honeycomb kick was that a friend in the UK knew of my love for the Fannie May honeycomb, so he sent me TWENTY (gulp) of England’s most iconic candy bars - called the Crunch Bar. It’s “cinder toffee dipped in chocolate” and I guess it’s to England what a Snickers is to us. Whatever - the stovetop version is miles better!!

[@lindsayholroyd7477]

Im going to try making this you make it look easy! I think this is what we call 'Cinder toffee' in the U.K, often eaten on Bonfire night/Guy Fawkes gun powder plot where we have fireworks etc. on November 5th. Its also eaten here at Christmas time as its easier to buy, its one of my favourite things....it sticks to your teeth like crazy😬 Cadbury chocolate make a honeycomb centre chocolate covered bar called a 'Crunchie' which is ok as far as mass production sweets & chocolate go...not sure if you have it in the U.S.? Love your videos Caleb 💗 Merry Christmas 🌲🇬🇧 xx

[@carolgroves3596]

Thank you for sharing!

[@ninjayumi789]

[@TreatsandTreasures-q9t]

[@KH-tg1sq]

[@BigMoneysLife]

How hard is this particular candy to bite into? Am I going to fracture my jaw eating it?

[@sandnstars8]

❤️❤️❤️

[@lynnstanton7018]

What last ingred pls was it vanilla

[@christinewilliams72]

Looked like Brer Rabbit molasses to me.......

[@tmiller6989]

Can I make this with light Karo- peppermint extract- couple drops of red food coloring - dipped in dk choc with a sprinkle of crushed candy cane?🤔 Someone please test this !😂🎉

[@gwendolyndee]

♥️

[@amberluttrelll8359]

Ok now the vinegar makes sense the baking soda is activated by it

[@prallo7081]

My girlfriend makes this and calls it molasses puffs. She always says it is really hard to make

[@marlenejones6266]

Ummm hey dear Kaleb. I dont mean to burst thy bubble but honey works just as well if not better than crappy corn syrup works. Aaaaand we get the great honey flavor in the candy. I will not be using corn syrup, dark or light. I love the taste of honey so very much so why would I use nasty corn syrup. I dont buy the crappy honey from grocery stores either. I have a guy. Lol He bottles the honey from his bees on his property one town away. Been buyin his honey for years so I know the flavor and the goodness of it. And the flavor of his honey is from the flowers on his property....I believe wildflowers is what he said. Please try honey next time? Please. Good luck and MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@WyseGuide]

Hi Marlene!!! I haven’t tried honey so I love to hear that!! I’ll have to try it!! Thanks for the knowledge 😍

[@kittmiller2212]
