If you’ve been reading along for a while, or if you know me personally, you know that I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I was browsing the candy aisle of one of my local grocery store chains, the British import, Waitrose and nothing jumped out at me. You can find this recipe on my Pinterest page as well.When the theme for this week’s Sunday Supper was announced as Crunchy Goodness, I was in the midst of trying to decide on a flavor for my upcoming BundtaMonth cake where the theme is candy. Try a piece and then come back here and tell me what you think. Once the chocolate has hardened, you’re ready to go! The chocolate candy coating was set in minutes. If you use real chocolate chips the chocolate can take up to an hour to harden. Then use a fork to pick up the candy and tap it lightly on the side of the bowl to get rid of excess chocolate before placing it on parchment paper to set. Slowly dip the candy into the chocolate, using a spoon to make sure all sides are covered. I went for the easy route and just picked up chocolate candy coating at the grocery store (in the baking aisle). You can use any type of chocolate that you wish such as milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips to cover the candy. So the best option for me is to cover it in chocolate to make it last longer. But if you’re in a high humidity area, such as Houston, the candy will start melting if not stored airtight. The great part is that you can eat it just like this! It’s still yummy. You’re going to be left with a pile of honeycomb candy such as this. Do this over a sheet of parchment paper because it crumbles easily. When it is hard all the way through, take a knife and cut off pieces. Go do your nails or come do my laundry, whatever floats your boat. Now you just need to let it set and harden for 30 minutes. It went from the light orange color above to the bright orange as it cooled. Now pour it into your pan and let it set. Whisk or stir it together briefly until well combined. Watch out because it’s going to react quickly. When it’s ready, remove it from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of baking soda. While this is cooking, line your pan with parchment paper and grease it liberally. You want it to be a nice light amber color. Turn the stove to a medium high heat and do not stir it! Let it cook together until it reaches 300 degrees or about 12-13 minutes. Start by combining 1/4 cup of honey, 1/2 cup corn syrup, 2 cups of sugar and 3 tablespoons of water in a deep sauce pan and stir together. It’s going to seem like these ingredients won’t make much candy but it will! Do not double unless you need enough for an army. Honey, corn syrup, sugar, chocolate coating, a deep pan and parchment paper. It’s good and would make amazing holiday gifts. It looks like a butterfinger candy bar but tastes like honey and is a much gentler texture. It’s sweet and crunchy yet almost melts in your mouth all at the same time. The four year old helped me with all the cooler steps.
When I say this is an easy candy recipe, I mean it.
#Honeycomb candy recipe how to
So I had to learn how to make it and then share this Chocolate Covered Honeycomb recipe with you! So when I saw chocolate covered honeycomb a few months ago at a swanky grocery store, I grabbed it thinking it was real honeycomb! But it turns out that it’s really just a really impressive looking candy. Bees are just amazing creatures and their honey is so beneficial for us.
I’ve always loved all things having to do with bees and honeycomb.
