Ingredients

• 1 tsp butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup dark corn syrup
• 1 tbsp. white vinegar
• 1 tbsp. baking soda
• 1/2 lb. dark chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped
• 1 tsp shortening, divided
• 1/2 lb. milk chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Line a 9-inch square pan with foil and grease foil with butter; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and vinegar. Cook and stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300.

2. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda. Immediately pour mixture into prepared pan; do not spread candy. Cook. Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Peel off foil; break candy into pieces.

3. In a microwave, melt dark chocolate coating and 1/2 tsp shortening; stir until smooth. Dip half the candies in melted chocolate mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Repeat with the milk chocolate coating, remaining 1/2 tsp shortening and candies. Store in an airtight container.
