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.
The authors say there was a jar of the candies on the counter that were made in 1830.2 The Gibralter, according to the company, is the first commercially made candy in the United States. Black Straps, the first candy made from Blackstrap Molasses (according to the co.) is also one of their original products. I highly doubt this statement to be true. Making candy with molasses is not exactly an original idea.
