For best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. A candy thermometer is essential for accurate temperature control. If you don't have one, you can test the mixture by dropping a small amount into cold water. It should form hard, brittle threads. Be careful when adding the baking soda, as the mixture will foam up quickly. Ensure the seafoam is completely cool before breaking it into pieces, otherwise it will be sticky. For a different flavor profile, try using dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips. Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it hardens for a salted chocolate seafoam.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Prepare Your Pan: Lightly grease an 8x8 inch disposable baking pan. This will prevent the seafoam from sticking and make removal easy. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Combine Initial Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together the granulated sugar, dark corn syrup, and distilled white vinegar. Mix until the sugar is just moistened and the mixture resembles coarse sand. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
03
Step
15 mins
Cook the Candy Base: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 307°F (153°C) on the candy thermometer. This stage is crucial for achieving the right texture. (Cook time: approximately 15 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Incorporate Baking Soda: Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately. Gently but quickly stir in the baking soda. The mixture will foam and expand rapidly. Be careful as it may splatter. (Reaction time: 1 minute)
05
Step
2 hrs
Cool and Harden: Pour the foamy candy mixture into the prepared pan. Let it cool completely in a draft-free area. Avoid moving the pan during cooling, as this can affect the final texture. (Cooling time: approximately 1-2 hours)
06
Step
5 mins
Break into Pieces: Once the candy is completely cool and hardened, break it into bite-sized pieces. The texture should be light and airy, with a brittle snap.
07
Step
10 mins
Melt Chocolate: In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
08
Step
10 mins
Chocolate Coating: Dip each piece of seafoam candy into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the chocolate-covered seafoam on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
09
Step
20 mins
Set the Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to harden completely. You can speed up the process by refrigerating the candy for about 15-20 minutes.
