honeycomb toffee

Bubbly caramel brittle

Honeycomb toffee is a brittle, aerated candy made by adding baking soda to hot sugar syrup, causing it to foam into a sponge-like structure.

The golden, crunchy confection has a distinctive honeycomb pattern of air bubbles throughout.

It goes by various names: cinder toffee, sponge candy, hokey pokey, or seafoam.

Often dipped in chocolate: The honeycomb toffee shattered satisfyingly when I bit through the chocolate coating.
