SPONGE CANDY
This recipe has been in the family of senior editor Randi Danforth for generations. Her great-grandmother bought penny sponge candy to take to the movies in Minnesota. A love for the crunchy sweet led to recipe experiments in the kitchen. Randi recalls watching her mother make this magical confection--the baking soda causes vigorous bubbling. Pack it in jars or airtight tins, and store at room temperature; exposure to moisture and air will soften the candy.

This hard candy was always the first thing to sell out at fundraisers we held back when I was in high school. I still make the melt-in-your-mouth morsels every Christmas.

TASTE THIS! SPONGE CANDY!
I love Sponge Candy! Okay, I love all candy and things of a sweet nature!!! :o) But anyway, I was always afraid to make this, I mean, that sponge stuff had to be hard I thought, I had never even looked at a recipe for it. I just don't like to deal with things that are touchy and precise, which I totally assumed sponge candy...

OLD FASHIONED MOLASSES CANDY
My Grandma Workman used to send this to us every Christmas, and I remember one year she wasn't able to and my Dad felt like it wasn't even Christmas. In the early days of Southern Utah, that was just about their only treat...corn bread and molasses. This candy tastes like molasses in hard candy form and that's basically what it...
