Cookies & Candies
 
SPONGE CANDY
 
1 c. dark corn syrup
1 c. sugar
1 T. vinegar
1 T. baking soda
3 squares baking chocolate
1 c. chocolate chips
1 (1-inch) square parrafin, melted
 
 
Combine the corn syrup, sugar and vinegar in a saucepan; bring to the hard-crack stage (290 to 300 degrees on a candy thermometer).  Remove from the heat and add the baking soda; stir well.  (Work quickly, as the mixture foams at this stage.)  Pour into a buttered 9-inch square pan (do not spread).  When cool, slide into a clear plastic bag and break into pieces.  Heat the chocolate squares, chocolate chips and paraffin together; carefully dip the candy pieces into the chocolate mixture, then place an wax paper until set.
