I made this recipe twice, following the directions EXACTLY. Both times it failed. It ended up like peanut brittle. I found a different recipe off a wedding site that was pretty much the same except it called for 2 tablespoons of baking soda instead on 1/2. It puffed up perfectly and stayed puffed up long enough to cool. Give it a try. Maybe it will work for you also!

I made a few changes - Cook to 300 and I used 1 Tablespoon of baking soda - sift or stir well to crush any small lumps before adding to sugar mix. I also lined my pan with aluminum foil and sprayed with Pam. The candy was easy to release. I used chocolate almond bark for my dipping chocolate. Store in covered tin in a cool place. I've been buying this at the local candy store for years - now I can make my own. Yum yum!

In fairness to MARBALET, some of yours don't turn out as expected not because her recipe is wrong or you're doing it wrong. It's because you're talking about 2 different kinds of seafoam candy. One that is white, chalky and smooth made with eggwhites to look like meringue pillows... and one that is toffee-like, crunchy that is the center of a crunchie or violet crumble bar.

There are a couple good tips for making this type of candy. #1. Don't make it on a humid or rainy day, it just will not turn out properly. #2. Always have a fresh box of baking soda, it makes the candy more sponge-like. Stale soda won't make it foam up as much as it should to be light.

I tried making this twice and it never turned out. I used a different seafoam recipe, first time had no problems.

Our sea foam did not turn out well. We made more of a hard candy then light chalky candy. Yuck!

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a special knack to making this candy. I myself cannot make it. I've burn many batches. Now my husbands Aunt follows this recipe and makes the BEST seafoam. So I'm thinking its a candy not everone can master. Oh well.....I'll try try and try again. But this recipe does work...just not for me. :)

This was not a very good recipe, the foam turned out hard as a rock, it was gross tasting and just not right at all. I have tried one with egg whites and it turned out much better.
