Light and airy, this old fashioned sea foam recipe is found in one of our vintage cookbooks from 1951, Sue's Candy Kettle and Some of Her Success Secrets. Also known as Sponge Candy, this candy first appeared in the 1940s in Buffalo, New York. Some chocolate shops still make this delightful, melt-in-your-mouth treat.

    I have made this many times and my recipe sounds not as good as this one. This one seems a lot easier to make this candy.
