For a richer flavor, try using semi-sweet or dark chocolate. Be careful when working with hot sugar syrup; it can cause severe burns. The baking soda reaction is crucial for creating the airy, crunchy texture. Don't skip it! If you don't have confectioners' coating, you can use regular chocolate with a tablespoon of shortening to help it melt smoothly.
