The History of Sponge Candy. Sponge candy is popular in some parts of the world and in a few American states, but is an unheard-of treat in other regions. The American version of this crisp, caramelized sugar is often coated with chocolate and it originates from the Buffalo area.
In 1975, when Peter Morphis began working full-time at Antoinetteâs Sweets, sponge candy wasnât even a blip on the accounting ledger; today, he says, itâs the storeâs bread and butter best-seller. Despite its hazy history, or perhaps because of it, sponge candy became, arguably, Buffaloâs favorite candy.
