I am curious as well!

Is it also called "seafoam?"

We have that here, it looks like a golden brown "sponge" covered in a layer of milk chocolate.

Still not helping. What is the "sponge?" Is it like a Peep? Why does it only come out this time of year?

I used to get sponge candy back in New York when I was a kid. Love it. It kinda melts in your mouth-heavenly bliss

I thought he just meant that he was going to sponge candy off of people all month. I never heard of sponge candy before. It's not unusual for me not to understand webmastercricket though.

sponge candy is sponge bob's cousin visiting from across the trench

So, no smarties OR crunchie bars?! You guys really get the short end of the chocolate stick down there. Sponge toffee is NOTHING like peeps, it's good!

So...this is a regional thing then? (I've never heard of it.)

 

[Blondie]

I've never heard of it either.

I've only had it back in New York. Growing up I thought everybody had it. Now I'm craving it but I guess I'll get my fix at Christmas time. Guess I can wait til then..... It's one of those things you just have to try - its hard to explain what it tastes like but trust me it is sinfully good.

Don't you just love candy, sponge worthy or not....

It can only be had in colder months because the "sponge" can't handle humidity or heat or it will dissolve. It's taste, texture and melting sensation are unique. It can be had through mail order, but if you live in a warm location, you may need to pay for a cold pack. We order ours from a candy shop in Ellocottville NY. We have found it to be a better chocolate and center flavor. It comes in dark, milk and orange (yuk).

Warning though: Some people get addicted to it
