Delicious! In my part of the states, we call this stuff sea foam. It costs a TON to buy it in the stores, so I was glad to find out this stuff is cheap and easy to make! I like to use real chocolate, though. Dark chocolate compliments the sweetness of this candy perfectly

I was told about this candy from my husband's family that lives in Wisconsin. I had never heard of it before. I really like it and it seems to be a hit with family and friends. I did not completely cover in chocolate, just dipped a little bit. I don't know how to get it to break or cut nicely without crumbling though.

Try these alterations if you like it more dense and not so airy. -ONLY use 1/2 TBSP baking soda (thats 1 1/2 tsp) -Use a large 13x18" sheet pan -lined pan with foil and butter as instructed -Pour into sheet pan. It will not fill the pan but creates more room for it to spread. And it will be more dense. Not falling apart when you try to eat it.

I tried this for Christmas Eve since I had never heard of it before and looked yummy. I didn't read the reviews before so it didn't turn out as well as it could have. The candy was hard and I thought it was going to break a few teeth in the process. I do want to try this again but with recommended changes and see how it goes.

Totally worth the time!!! I grew up with my parents buying this candy around xmas time and HAD to make it. The first and third time I made it... it didn't turn out. It was flat and hard. The second time was SO GOOD. I followed the advice of Lisa K that time and used light corn syrup w/half brown sugar. 1st and 3rd with dark... don't know if I did something wrong. Dipped in semi-sweet chocolate and milk chocolate. I'll be making this every year for sure!!!

I let each of my kids pick something to make today, and this is what my 12 year-old picked (I think she liked the name). She made most of it herself, I helped a little with the stiring. It was neat watching the transformation when we added the baking soda, almost like doing a science experiment. After cooling, we broke it into pieces and sampled. At first, we thought it was just weird. But we let it sit, dipped the pieces in chocolate and let them sit overnight. It's almost gone today. Defintely dip in chocolate. It softens it a little and adds the perfect touch. We really enjoyed this and it will probably become a holiday tradition for my daughter and me.

My great grandmother used to make something very similar over the holidays (I guess) per my dad. He wanted them but couldn't find a recipe so I made these. He said these were very close and loved them - as did everyone else. We all actually liked them w/o chocolate as well. Either way - 5 stars!

OMG made this first time and it turned out perfect. Used brwon sugar since I only had light corn syrup. My kids love it and I can't wait to give it as gifts. So easy gas stove and used 4-5. Makes me remember my sibs and cousins eating this and it was spendy then. One to add to your xmas candy file. Did use my candy themoter I would suggest buying one they are not that much and you have it for years. Enjoy Yum Yum give me some

Not bad! Never had this candy before so I couldn't pass up trying the recipe after most people commented on growing up with it...where was I? Had no problems at all. Mine started to turn a little darker at 275 degrees. Had I not been right there, it would of burned. Not bad at all, thanks for the recipe.
