This delicious—and deliciously sweet—sponge candy has a caramel-honeycomb centre and is garnished with toffee bits.
Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp baking soda
1/4 cup Skor bits
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment. Stir sugar with corn syrup and vanilla in a deep medium-sized pot until combined. Put pot on the stove over medium-high. Do not stir again. Bring to a vigorous boil. Continue to boil until bubbles are brown-tinged, 4 min.
Remove from heat and immediately whisk in baking soda. Mixture will froth and expand. Pour out immediately onto prepared sheet. Let cool 2 min, then sprinkle toffee bits overtop.
Cool completely, then crack into pieces. Candy will keep well, stored in an airtight container, for up to 5 days.
