ANGEL FOOD (HONEYCOMB) CANDY

By

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1 Tbsp vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp baking soda
  • 2 pounds semisweet or bittersweet chocolate

Preparation

Step 1

Cook sugar, corn syrup and vinegar in heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes. Stop stirring and bring candy to boil. Continue cooking without stirring until candy reaches hard-crack stage (300 to 310 degrees on candy thermometer), about 10 minutes.

Remove candy from heat and quickly stir in baking soda. Pour into buttered 13 x 9-inch baking pan but do not spread (candy won’t fill pan). Let candy cool.

Break hardened candy into chunks and dip into melted chocolate. Place on wax paper until firm, about 30 minutes, or refrigerate. Store in airtight container.
