One of my favorite candy or chocolate of all time. Chocolate covered honeycomb candy!! I grew up eating it as a kid and was always fascinated by its soft crispiness that dissolves in your mouth. Who knew it was so easy to make with just 3 simple ingredients available in the kitchen ? This recipe is very easy. Give it a go, and you will never turn to a store bought one again.
Yield: 20-25 medium sized pcs
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
Notes
It is important to reach the hard candy stage for the melting sugar. This happens at a temperature of 300 - 310 F. If you do not have a thermometer, to check if you have reached the correct temperature, take a small amount of the hot sugar syrup using a spoon and drop it into very cold water. If it forms hard and brittle threads that are easy to break, then it is done. For me, this happened approximately 3 minutes after the bubbles started forming.
Also, always keep the flame on medium.
