Looking for recipe for a candy, which was sponge like and the size of a 1 pd. loaf of butter, yellow in color, and melted in your mouth. Checked many stores that have the old fashioned candy, but to no avail. I've made the sponge candy but it's not the same, very hard. I wish I had an image to show you. This was way back in the 40's and 50's.

The recipe posted by maddhatterr is the one you want. It can also be found on astray recipes, then just type in sponge candy. The good old original one. We have a retro candy store in our city and I buy this every once in a while.
If you are looking for the candy. Yummies in Maine has it. They ship too. Enjoy.
They have the best sponge candy!

The recipies here seem to be like that for peanut brittle without the peanuts. I thought the person said the candy was like a sponge.
Strange. I'm eating Stefanelli's sponge candy as I'm typing this! It's the best!

I am looking for a recipe for sponge candy. The old fashioned sponge candy. I once had the recipe but have lost it. I would really love to get it again. Does anyone know how it is done? Or is it a lost art?

Cook sugar, corn syrup and vinegar to 300 degrees on candy thermometer, stirring often. Remove from heat; add baking soda. Mix well (this foams up-use large pan). Pour into 13x9 inch pan, buttered lightly. DO NOT BUMP PAN OR STIR. Let cool, break into pieces. Melt chocolate almond bark and chocolate chips and dip pieces. Set on waxed paper to dry. (12/16/2005)
