sponge toffee

Bubbly caramel treat

Sponge toffee is a light, airy candy made by adding baking soda to hot sugar syrup, creating a honeycomb-like structure full of small bubbles.

The texture is crisp and dissolves on the tongue.

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

Often dipped in chocolate: I picked up some chocolate-covered sponge toffee at the candy shop.
