cinder toffee
Aerated caramel treat
Cinder toffee is a light, airy British confection made by adding baking soda to hot sugar syrup, which causes it to foam up into a honeycomb-like structure before hardening into a crunchy, golden treat.
The "cinder" refers to its porous, almost volcanic appearance.
It goes by many regional names including honeycomb, hokey pokey, and sponge candy.
When coated in chocolate, it becomes the filling for the popular Cadbury Crunchie bar.
