With Michigan getting hit with it's first major storm of the year, I thought it was a great time for some heirloom confections. Yes, Sponge candy also known as Honeycomb candy, whichever name your family recipe was handed down by. This is a sweet, crunchy, honeycomb-texture treat withhints of delicate toffee and molasses flavor. You can leave it plan or dress it up with chocolate which is what my niece and I did for a Valentines day treat.
You can find many recipes online or in your heirloom recipe books. They only vary by dark or light corn syrup and white or dark brown sugar. If you use the dark corn syrup or sugar you get a deeper toffee/molasses flavor. Whatever you choose this confection only has four ingredients and is super easy.
