Sea Foam Candy



2 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup corn syrup
6 TBSP water
2 tsp vanilla
1 TBSP sifted baking soda {it needs to have NO clumps}
2 lbs Almond Bark
~Grease a cookie pan and set aside. 
~Put sugar, corn syrup, water, and vanilla in a LRG stock pot and mix well. 
~Turn heat to medium and boil to hard crack stage WITHOUT stirring. {About 280* on a candy thermometer} 
~Take off heat immediately and stir in baking soda quickly with a few Stirring as possible. 
~pour across the center {length wise} of prepared cookie pan. {I like to do this over the sink because of all the foaming. It foams over sides of pan easily}
**DO NOT scrape sides of pan. DO NOT spread candy into pan. Doing so will flatten air bubbles in candy.** 
~Let cool till hard {about 30 mins} and break into pieces. 
~Melt 4-5 squares of almond bark in a glass bowl, in the microwave, for 15-30 seconds. Stir then put in microwave again for 15-30 seconds more until chocolate stirs easily. 
~Put a piece of sea foam in the chocolate and stir with a fork to coat. Tap against bowl to "shake off" excess chocolate. 
~Place on wax paper until chocolate around candy is firm.
