Crispy and Light Honeycomb Candy

𝐻𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑏

𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 🍚
1/4 cup honey 🍯
1/4 cup water 💧
2 tbsp golden syrup (or light corn syrup) 🍶
2 tsp baking soda 🧂

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Prepare your baking sheet: Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray. This will prevent the honeycomb from sticking and make it easier to remove once it has set. 🍽️

𝟮. 𝗠𝗶𝘅 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 𝗜𝗻 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆-𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗻, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 🍚, 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 🍯, 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 💧, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘆𝗿𝘂𝗽 🍶. 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻. 🥄

3. Heat the mixture: Once the sugar is dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture cook on medium heat until it reaches 300°F (150°C), also known as the hard crack stage. Use a candy thermometer for accuracy. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. 🎂

4. Add baking soda: Once the sugar mixture reaches 300°F, quickly remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately whisk in the baking soda 🧂. The mixture will foam up rapidly and become light and airy. Be careful, as the mixture is very hot. 🥄

5. Pour the mixture: Quickly pour the foamy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly. Do not flatten or stir, as this will deflate the honeycomb’s airy texture. Let the honeycomb cool completely for about 1 hour. It will harden and set into a crisp, light candy. 🍬

6. Break into pieces: Once the honeycomb has fully hardened, use a rolling pin or a mallet to break it into chunks. You can enjoy it as is or dip the pieces in melted chocolate for an extra treat. 🥰

7. Store and enjoy: Store the honeycomb in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay crispy for several days. Enjoy this light and crunchy treat on its own or use it to top ice cream or desserts! 🍯🍬
