Angel Food Candy

2 c corn syrup
2 c brown sugar
4 tsp baking soda
4-5 bags chocolate chips

Combine syrup and brown sugar in heavy dutch oven. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat. Carefully stir in baking soda. Mixture will foam up. Pour at once into greased 13 x 9 x 2 pan or larger. When cool, turn out of pan. Break into pieces with wooden spoon (see picture). Melt Chocolate. Dip pieces into chocolate and let cool on wax paper. Store in refrigerator.

I've never made candy before because it's so temperamental and that scares me, but this candy is so delicious, I had to try. Ken helped to make sure it was going well, and it worked! Just make sure you keep going until you hit 300 degrees. Stirring can get tiresome so you might want to have a hubby or friend on hand to trade off - that worked well for us. Gave the candy out as Christmas gifts and it was a big hit!
