Candace in the Kitchen

Archive for the ‘Candy’ Category

This was a gift for Kelly’s birthday. We get this delicious candy from a local chocolate shop and they call it “seafoam” candy. When I googled to find a recipe to make it at home they were all the same. Cook sugar and corn syrup and then pour it over beaten egg whites. It just didn’t sound right but I made it anyway.

Well I was right. That turned out to be more like what I have always heard called divinity. It was okay, kind of like a chewy marshmallow.

I found another recipe that seemed more like what I was looking for. It’s really easy, in fact, the hardest part of the whole thing is dipping it in chocolate.

1 C sugar

1 C light corn syrup

4 t baking soda, sifted

Chocolate, melted (I used Hershey’s Special Dark chips)

Heat sugar and syrup in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 300 degrees.

Quickly stir in baking soda and pour into a 9×13 dish. (I lined it with foil but wax paper would probably be a better choice.)

Let cool and set completely and then break into pieces.

Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.

Dip the pieces of candy into chocolate and set on wax paper to harden.
