Chocolate Covered Sponge Toffee

I made some sponge toffee as well as the mice today so there has been major sugar consumption here today. I have wanted to make this candy forever but just never got around to it. My dad’s mum used to make it for him when he was a kid and I always thought such a feat was amazing because it looked like complicated stuff to me. It is so simple. Candy scares me sometimes because of the temperatures you need to get just right, but it was no problem. It bubbles up like crazy when you add the baking soda, so it is kind of fun for kids to watch, from a safe distance of course as it is hot. I melted a bit of milk chocolate and dipped it in that for extra tastiness. I am very pleased with how everything turned out but I probably won’t want to eat candy again for a year.
