Steps:
- Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium heavy-bottomed, tall sided saucepan over medium heat, stir together the corn syrup, brown sugar, and vinegar. Stir frequently, bringing mixture to a boil.
- Once the mixture is boiling, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan, making sure the tip of the thermometer is in the boiling liquid, but not touching the bottom of the pan.
- Continue to cook on medium without stirring the candy until it reaches 300°F on your candy thermometer.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the baking soda. Mixture will bubble up creating the bubbles and texture in the candy. Mix only until the baking soda is evenly combined, careful not to over-stir as this will deflate the bubbles.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan as evenly as you can. Tilt the pan around to help the candy spread, but don't hit the pan or use a spatula to spread, as this will deflate the bubbles. It's ok if it's not perfectly even.
- Sprinkle with flaked sea salt if desired, and allow the candy to cool in the pan for at least an hour.
- Remove candy from the pan using the parchment paper to lift it out and break the candy into pieces using a mallet or a knife. I don't worry too much about the pieces being perfectly shaped.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, honey, and water, and using a wooden spoon, stir constantly over low heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Put candy thermometer into the mixture to monitor temperature, increase the heat and boil mixture to exactly 270 degrees F (132C).
- Reduce heat to as low as possible and maintain the temperature 270F for exactly 15 minutes.
- It is very important that the temperature of the mixture does not fluctuate; if the temperature begins to rise, remove the pan from heat occasionally to reduce the heat.
- After the temperature has been maintained for 15 minutes, remove the pan from heat, take out the thermometer, and allow the bubbles to subside.
- Using a wooden spoon, quickly stir in finely sifted baking soda.
- Immediately and quickly pour the mixture into a large oiled baking dish.
- (Please note, important: the pouring step requires strength and you'll be handling extremely hot liquids; if you're not strong and agile enough you might want to leave that step to a strong and able assistant.) When candy has completely cooled, remove from pan and break into pieces.
- Many lovers of honeycomb candy like to coat the pieces in chocolate- you can dunk the pieces into melted chocolate if you like.

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.

OLD-FASHIONED MOLASSES 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.
