@23irontusks4 5 месяцев назад

That's what a Cadbury Crunchie is and the reason I got into making honeycomb candy. Old fashioned puff candy is the name my home state of Massachusetts gave it. Alot of different regions, countries and states have variations with little tweaks to the recipe, all just as tasty as the one before with a different name. Edit Cadbury Crunchie's are from Ireland. I buy mine at a convenience store in Charlestown, Boston, MA

@Nalanismusic 4 месяца назад

Could it be put in silicone molds instead? I’m thinking it would be easier to get out because the silicone allows you to push it out since it’s not rigid….also it would form it so you don’t have to break it and have irregular chunks…so just wondering if you ever tried silicone molds?

@minini5571 Год назад

I thought this was only an Up North thing…but we make it crunchy and it melts in your mouth. We dip the candy in dark chocolate and it’s called Angel Food Candy.

@georgiadreamingbb1245 Год назад

Same here I have never heard of it being chewy or sticky. But the consistency it's always been when I had it was kind of like floral foam like so airy and not at all hard or sticky like hard candy more like dried bread crumbs..., crumby and should be texture wise nothing like butterfinger or hard nor sticky.

Yes, I have had sponge candy many times. I live in western NY and it's available at 2 chocolate shoppe's in my town. I always buy several packages and send them out to relatives and friends for Christmas. I might try to make it myself using your recipe...it would be cheaper. :)

Thanks! I wanted to buy some of this for my daughter for her birthday, because it's her favorite candy and my favorite candy too. But I couldn't find it here in Omaha. I never even thought about making it but now I'm going to!❤

@gailgorenflo3501 Год назад

That is the exact recipe my sister uses here in Western NY ( I’m from Buffalo). She had it down to a science. But it shouldn’t be sticky or stick to your teeth. It should be very airy with a crunch and basically melt in your mouth. Someone mentioned the texture of being like “floral foam” and I would say that’s an accurate analogy. All of our local candy shops sell it. It’s generally only made in the cold months ( has to do with humidity, I think) ands it’s ALWAYS cut in squares and dipped in chocolate. I tried it years ago with her when she first got the recipe and ours would puff up and then slightly collapse giving us a harder, stickier consistency, more like what you made. After multiple tries I gave up. She made it the next Xmas with the person who gave her the recipe and she learned the little tricks of the trade from her, or whatever to get it just right because she’s been nailing it for the last 20 yrs. It delicious! Good try and as long as you enjoy it that’s all that matters!

@pickypants9696 7 месяцев назад

Can you ask her what the tricks of the trade are and add it in a reply? I want to avoid the sticky also so it's hard and melts in your mouth! ☺️

I grew up in Chicago in the 40’s and 50’s. It was sold in rectangular blocks about the size of a small brick wrapped in cellophane. It was very light and never chewy or sticky. My mother would cut small chunks off with a sharp knife and the pieces would dissolve as soon as I put them in my mouth. I tried making it about 25 years ago, and it was pretty good, but never quite as good as the sponge candy we had in Chicago.

@Dh-rp7gg Год назад

But it's not chewy

@pickypants9696 7 месяцев назад

The problem with the Fleet Farm seafoam candy is that they cost it in chocolate "flavor" instead of real chocolate. It used to be real chocolate but that changed many years ago. Many are like that now. I always check the label on any I see sold to verify before I buy it. When it's coated in chocolate flavor it spoils it for me!

Top tip for cleaning out candy pans - fill the pan with water and put it back on the heat. As the water boils, it will dissolve the hardened sugar/candy and make cleaning the pan a breeze. So much easier! We call this honeycomb in the UK (or I've also heard it called cinder toffee). We have a chocolate bar made by Cadbury's that is this covered in milk chocolate and it's delicious! It's called a Crunchie.
