I've been reading the Kitchen Wench blog the last few days, and it's so good. By reading I mean drooling over the pictures and reading a little bit ad checking out the recipes. Anyway, she had this recipe for honeycomb candy. I've had honeycomb candy in england, and occasionally found it in america, but had never considered making it at home. I had some time before work, so I tried it out. It's great.
Honeycomb Candy
1 1/2 c sugar
1/3 c light corn syrup
2 T honey
1/4 c water
2 T baking soda
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, honey and water in a high-sided saucepan. Cook on medium-low heat until sugar has dissolved, then keep cooking, until syrup reaches a medium amber color. Meanwhile, line a 13x9ish pan with foil, up the sides. Keep on hand. Dump the baking soda into the sugar mix all at once, stir quickly, and remove from heat. The mixture is going to get really high, fast. Pour the foamy candy into the pan and leave it alone for about an hour, until it cools. Break up and eat as is, or on ice cream, or in cookies, or dip in chocolate. Store in an airtight container at room temp.
