Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 pound chocolate confectioners' coating

Instructions

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
Combine sugar, corn syrup, and vinegar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar is fully dissolved. Continue heating without stirring until the mixture reaches 300-310°F (149-154°C) or forms hard, brittle threads when dropped into cold water.
Take the saucepan off the heat and quickly stir in baking soda. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, being careful not to spread it. Let the candy cool completely and harden.
Melt the coating chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring often until it's smooth. Break the cooled candy into small, bite-sized pieces and dip each piece into the melted chocolate. Place the coated candy on waxed paper to set. Store in an airtight container.
