Seafoam Candy Recipe

Vintage Candy Recipes From Grandma's Day

Select a seafoam candy recipe from Grandma's collection, and make an old fashioned candy treat. Here are a couple of helpful tips for making the best seafoam candy:

Try not to over beat the egg white or the candy mixture. If over-beat, the candy will not have its characteristic density or lightness. Practice makes perfect.

Two of the three seafoam recipes call for vinegar. The white vinegar enhances the flavor of the candy and tends to cut its sweetness, but don't overuse it, or you'll spoil the candy.

Recipes For Seafoam Candy

These old fashioned candy recipes are taken from one of Mom's old recipe scrapbooks, circa 1929.

Easy Sea Foam Candy Recipe
3 cups light-brown sugar, 1 cup cold water, 1-1/2 tablespoons vinegar. Boil to hard ball stage, beat whites of 2 eggs and pour in the candy. Beat quite stiff, add nuts and vanilla.

Old Fashioned Recipe For Seafoam Candy
Two cups brown sugar, 1 cup cold water, 1 teaspoon of vinegar, white of 1 egg. Cook sugar and water till it forms a soft ball in water; then add vinegar and pour it on the white of egg, and beat until when dropped from a teaspoon it will form into shape like a bonbon. --Fruit and Candies
