(It's made by cooking a sugar syrup with a small amount of vinegar I it to the hard crack stage, then adding baking soda to make it puff up. The baking soda is responsible for the "burnt" flavor, especially if it is not mixed in well, and it also gives the candy a carbonated taste. If sponge candy isn't something you already know and love, it probably would taste weird to have it captured in ice cream. I've never seen or tasted this ice cream flavor, but from your description it sounds like they captured the flavor of sponge candy dead on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
