MAPLE SPONGE TOFFEE
I had an amazing sponge toffee on a trip to a maple syrup refinery, so I was excited when I saw this recipe on the Globe and Mail newspaper. I have had it in other places, called "seafoam", but the maple syrup makes a nice difference. I have yet to try this particular, but I do not want to lose this recipe.
