Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Equipment:
   • Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
   • Have a candy thermometer, wooden spoon, and heatproof spatula ready.
2. Cook the Syrup:
   • In a large saucepan, combine the dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, and white vinegar.
   • Stir constantly over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Bring to Temperature:
   • Attach the candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring it doesn’t touch the bottom.
   • Boil the mixture without stirring until it reaches 300°F (149°C) on the candy thermometer (hard crack stage), about 10-15 minutes.
4. Add Baking Soda:
   • Remove the saucepan from heat once it reaches 300°F.
   • Quickly stir in the baking soda until fully incorporated. The mixture will foam up rapidly.
5. Pour and Cool:
   • Immediately pour the foamy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet without spreading it out.
   • Allow it to cool completely at room temperature for about 1-2 hours.
6. Break into Pieces:
   • Once cooled and hardened, break the candy into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
7. Coat with Chocolate:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate candy coating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
   • Dip each piece of Fairy Food into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage.
   • Place the coated pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
   • Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
