- What exactly is sponge candy?
- It is a crisp, porous toffee sponge — the candy known elsewhere as seafoam, honeycomb, cinder toffee or hokey pokey — coated in milk chocolate. The inside is airy and shatters easily; the outside is smooth chocolate.
- How much candy is in the bag?
- The bag holds one pound (16 ounces) of chocolate-covered sponge candy pieces.
- How should I store it?
- Keep it sealed and cool, away from heat and humidity, since the chocolate coating softens and the sponge can go sticky in warm conditions. A cool, dry cupboard is fine.
- Is it the same as a Heath or Skor bar?
- No. Those are dense toffee bars; this is a light, honeycomb-style sponge with a thinner chocolate coating, so the crunch is crisper and less chewy.
- Is it a good gift?
- Yes, especially for someone from the Erie, Pennsylvania area, where sponge candy is a local tradition. The one-pound bag suits sharing or a host gift.
