Sponge Toffee
A crispy, crunchy treat! This crunchy treat should be celebrated everyday of the year! Whip up a batch to press onto the outside of a cake (like I do in my Irish Overload Cake), or break it up and set out for snacking. Get crunching!

-
Prepare pan with parchment paper, securing with a little bit of shortening.
-
In a large pot, stir sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat. Bring to boil.
-
Cook, without stirring until a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees F, about 10-12 minutes.
-
Remove from heat, and very carefully whisk in baking soda. The toffee will bubble up and rise very high in the pot.
-
Pour into prepared pan. Let cool in rack without disturbing, about 2 hours.
-
Using a meat tenderizer, mallet, or spoon, break toffee into nuggets.
Congratulations you did it!
