"Honeycomb Candy gets its name from its indisputable resemblance to an actual honeycomb. Some also call it sponge toffee, as it is also very similar to your good old kitchen sponge. In any case, this candy is an eye-catcher and can be made in no time at all! You only need 4 ingredients and the honey-yellow eye-catchers with extra crunch are ready for the next party or movie night. I like to dip them in a chocolate bath at the end and add some coarse sea salt on top, but you can start with the base first! My tip for cleaning your saucepan easily: Bring some water to a boil and the sticky mixture will dissolve itself."

Step 1/2

Add sugar, honey, and water to a saucepan and heat everything over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Keep stirring until sugar is dissolved and the mixture starts to boil. Stop stirring and check the temperature with a thermometer. Make sure that the tip of the thermometer only touches the liquid and not the bottom of the saucepan.

Add sugar, honey, and water to a saucepan and heat everything over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Keep stirring until sugar is dissolved and the mixture starts to boil. Stop stirring and check the temperature with a thermometer. Make sure that the tip of the thermometer only touches the liquid and not the bottom of the saucepan.

Step 2/2

⅓ tsp baking soda

baking dish

parchment paper

In the meantime, line a fairly high baking dish (min. 20 cm × 20 cm) with baking paper. As soon as the sugar mixture reaches 150°C/302°F, take the pan off the heat, add in baking soda and stir it in evenly. Do not stir too vigorously, otherwise the mixture will be too smooth and the honeycomb will lose the bubbles. The mixture should start to bubble strongly and turn gold in color. after approx. 30 secs., pour the mixture onto the baking dish. Leave to harden for approx. 1 hr and then break by hand or with a knife. Optionally, dip in melted chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
