My favorite chocolate bar was Chunky. I haven't seen them anywhere in years, so my current favorite is Reese's Cups.

Well - here's a recipe for Old Fashioned Sponge Candy

Old Fashioned Sponge Candy

1 C. sugar

1 C. corn syrup, dark

1 T. vinegar

1 T. soda

Combine sugar, syrup, and vinegar in heavy sauce pan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.

Then cook to 300° F. or crack stage. Remove from heat, stir soda in quickly, mixing up. (it will become frothy**) Pour into buttered pan. Cool and break into pieces.

**be careful - if your pan is too small it will overflow!



After the candy is cool it is cut into various "cube" shapes and dipped in milk chocolate, orange milk chocolate and dark chocolate. I absolutely love milk chocolate.

But sponge candy is a seasonal candy - it is never found in the warm months because it does not hold up well in the heat. From Christmas through Easter it is very popular here and after Easter it usually goes on sale so that the candy shops can get rid of it. It's one of those candies that is best made when there is no humidity, etc.


The "sponge" candy resembles the coarseness and texture of a sponge.

It is the best candy ever!

I also love dark chocolate with orange jelly inside. When I was a kid we would go to the mall shopping and always stopped off at Russell Stovers for a few chocolate orange jellies.
