HONEYCOMB TOFFEE



Honeycomb Toffee image

This very fun and simple-to-make candy goes by many names; cinder toffee, sponge candy, and my personal favorite, 'hokey pokey,' but no matter what you call it, this eye-catching confection is a proven crowd pleaser. Thousands of bubbles, trapped in the cooling sugar syrup, give this the most interesting melt-in-your-mouth texture. As long as you're very careful and heat the syrup up to the correct temp, there's not a lot that can go wrong.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper, measure out baking soda in a small bowl, and have a heat-proof spatula ready before starting.
  • Whisk sugar, corn syrup, honey, and water together in a saucepan with a candy thermometer attached. Heat over medium heat until mixture is thinner but still cloudy. Let bubble until mixture is clear and thermometer registers 300 degrees F (149 degrees C).
  • Remove from heat. Whisk in baking soda until just incorporated. Switch to a spatula and very carefully pour into the lined dish. Do not spread it out with your spatula or compress mixture at all, or the bubbles will deflate. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove candy from the pan by lifting out the parchment paper. Rap against the counter and use your fingers to break it into individual pieces.

SPONGE CANDY



Sponge Candy image

This recipe has been in the family of senior editor Randi Danforth for generations. Her great-grandmother bought penny sponge candy to take to the movies in Minnesota. A love for the crunchy sweet led to recipe experiments in the kitchen. Randi recalls watching her mother make this magical confection--the baking soda causes vigorous bubbling. Pack it in jars or airtight tins, and store at room temperature; exposure to moisture and air will soften the candy.

Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon baking soda, sifted

Steps:

  • Line 9-inch square cake pan with 2-inch-high sides with foil, extending foil over sides. Generously butter foil. Combine sugar, corn syrup and vinegar in heavy large deep saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Continue cooking without stirring until clip-on candy thermometer registers 300°F, swirling pan occasionally, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat. Immediately add baking soda and stir until well combined (mixture will foam vigorously). Immediately pour mixture into prepared pan. Cool completely.
  • Using foil as aid, lift, candy from pan; fold down foil sides. Cut or break candy into large pieces (save any small pieces or shreds to use as a topping for ice cream). (Can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Prepare your ingredients and equipment in advance: This includes measuring out all of the ingredients, greasing and flouring the baking dish, and preheating the oven.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and smoothly.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form: This will help the Sponge Toffee Angel Food Candy rise properly.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites gently: Over-mixing can cause the batter to deflate.
  • Bake the Sponge Toffee Angel Food Candy in a preheated oven: This will help prevent the cake from sinking.
  • Cool the Sponge Toffee Angel Food Candy completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Sponge Toffee Angel Food Candy is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture and sweet and crunchy topping, this candy is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give Sponge Toffee Angel Food Candy a try!
