Sweet, crunchy and fun to make, and perfect as a garnish for ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar ((335g))
  • ¼ cup honey ((90g or 3oz))
  • ¼ cup water ((60g or 2oz))
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda

Directions

  1. 1

    Lightly spray a large baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium-large, heavy bottomed saucepan combine the sugar, honey and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue cooking and stirring until the mixture darkens and reaches 300°F.

  4. 4

    Remove from the heat and immediately add the baking soda. Quickly whisk the mixture, just until blended. The honeycomb will grow in volume by almost 3 times its' original size, so be careful.

  5. 5

    Immediately pour the hot candy onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not spread or touch the candy. Let the honeycomb cool completely before breaking into pieces.

  6. 6

    Store the honeycomb brittle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
