Grandma's Recipes #1 - Angel Food Candy

Every Christmas growing up, Grandma had big bowls of candy scattered around the kitchen and living room.  My favorites were always the Angel Food and Aunt Eleanor's English Toffee.  I can't find the toffee recipe, but Grandma's Angel food lives on and has become a new tradition in our household.  Comments in [gray brackets] do not appear in Grandma's original recipe.

Angel Food Candy
1/4 cup   brown or white sugar [I always use white because Grandma had it circled]
1 T          fresh baking soda - sifted
1/4 cup    dark corn syrup
3/4 cup    light corn syrup
1 T          vinegar
1/2 lb       chocolate
2 Tbsp     Paraffin [the recipe calls for this, but I've never used it when I make it]

Boil [first four ingredients] to cracking stage (295-300).  Add  1 T fresh baking soda - sifted.  Stir well.  [Make sure your pot has at least 3x the volume of the original mixture.  Vinegar + baking soda = 6th grade science project volcanoes only with sugar]

Pour in buttered 9x13 pan [or on parchment paper].  Do not smooth out.  Let cool.

[When it's cooled slightly but still not firm, score the candy into squares.]  Break apart and dip in chocolate.  1/2 lb choc to 2 sq bitter choc. add 2 Tbsp paraffin.  Melt in double boiler and dip candy.  Put on wax paper to cool.
