seafoam candy

Airy sugar treat

Seafoam candy is a light, brittle confection made by adding baking soda to hot sugar syrup, creating a honeycomb of air bubbles that solidifies into a crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Often dipped in chocolate.

Also called honeycomb, sponge candy, cinder toffee, or hokey pokey depending on region.
