Chocolate Sponge Candy!

[outsdr.livejournal.com]

Back on December 16th, misstiajournal posted a recipe for Chocolate Sponge Candy- and I couldn't resist.

I started out with one strike against me- I didn't have any dark corn syrup, I only had light corn syrup. But I forged on ahead, thinking that sweet is sweet. I continued thinking this when I realized I didn't even have enough light corn syrup to make the recipe. Seeing that it was Christmas day, I didn't really have an option of getting any more, so I used honey to make up the difference.



Here is the syrup, honey, and cider vinegar in the pan. Now, I have a gas stove and cheap cookware that is prone to hot spots. This is where I made my second mistake. Anticipating the hot spots, I used a smaller pan than the 2-quart saucepan that is called for in the recipe.( On to the fun, and a lot of large pictures )
