So now I can try to make it for them. And it's usually dry in Nebraska, especially in the winter, so I have hope that it will turn out. Thanks!<br /><br />Also, I saw Janice Okun speak about 20 years ago at a Tops in Amherst and she was so engaging. I'm glad to know that she's still doing her thing.Sue G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01413978126766497885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919567339531819122.post-79041891181351727212012-12-07T19:13:39.556-05:002012-12-07T19:13:39.556-05:00Yay!

Lined with parchment paper, cut a circle to fit in the bottom of the pan too. I put a tall collar of parchment paper in as well. The height was almost six inches. Sprayed well with a pan spray. It still almost "grew" over the top edge of the paper!! The wait to beak it into chunks is the hardest part!! But so worth it!! I too brought it to 300 degrees and was most impressed even in mid summer with my evaporative cooler running on high it came out perfect!! So pleased as it sells here for EIGHT dollars a pound in stores. Much nicer homemade!!SLynn-Howenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919567339531819122.post-85845054394026109292012-08-01T17:32:27.062-04:002012-08-01T17:32:27.062-04:00I remember when I was a kid well that was 57 years...I remember when I was a kid well that was 57 years ago.There was a little store & it was sold 4x4x4 squares and yes 5 cents.I have been looking for the last 5 years for this and found it at Uncles Sam's candy store in Schenectady NY I was so excited.I bought 4 bags as it was June & they don't sell in the summer because of the humidity.I put them in the fridge and although a little sticky didn't care.Now I have the ingredients gonna give it a try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587134458669070605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919567339531819122.post-28072419405683678532012-05-28T11:48:41.848-04:002012-05-28T11:48:41.848-04:00Love love love sponge candy.

Many people consider this to be a "signature" candy from Western New York. But try to make it at home? Could be an uphill battle of ingredients, timing, advanced kitchen skills and persistence. Take a look at this web site:<br /><br />www.buffalospongecandy.com<br /><br />This is a great "Plan B" option when you have to have a sponge candy fix without the "fuss & muss & mess"...Mike Phttp://www.buffalospongecandy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919567339531819122.post-12800236275589345682011-01-25T21:31:09.130-05:002011-01-25T21:31:09.130-05:00This was the best sponge candy ever.

I can't tell you how many pounds of sponge candy I would bring back from visits (and orange chocolate, too!) for friends to try. So many people became hooked on the stuff I could have started my own "sponge candy importing" business!
