Allow to rest in the refrigerator until chocolate hardens. Dip and/or sprinkle with melted dark chocolate. It cools and hardens quickly.Ĭandy will set within 20 minutes. It doesn’t have to fill the pan completely… just get it in there.
Before the candy cools too much, quickly spread it into the prepared pan. It will turn slightly golden as you whisk. The mixture will become foamy and frothy and look pale. Immediately add baking soda and quickly whisk to combine. When the mixture comes to 300 degrees F, quickly remove from heat and gently set the pan in the cool water in the sink. Heat boiling sugar mixture to 300 degrees F. There’s no real need to stir the pan as it begins to boil. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and heat over medium heat. In a medium, heavy bottom saucepan whisk together sugar, corn syrup, water, cream of tartar, and vinegar. Set aside.įill an empty sink with about 2-inches of cold water Set up a whisk and the baking soda near the sink. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil and lightly grease the foil. Homemade Honeycomb with dark chocolate and sea salt I’m also going to do sit-ups while I watch this rerun of Teen Mom that I’ve already seen. I think I just gave myself a sugar fever. I’ve already talked myself out of exercising for the day and NOW THIS!
I really did just eat the whole entire batch.
HONEYCOMB CANDY RECIPE CRACK
– Oh! It’s fun to crack this candy! It’s just like stabbing. I probably didn’t need to scream like that… but maybe it helped the process. – AAAHHHHHHHHH!!! You want me to hold a heavy pot and scoop out boiling hot sugar HOW FAST!?!? THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME DO THIS!? JOY THE BAKER IS SO DUUUUMB GAWD! – AAHHHHH quickly whisking boiling hot sugar with baking soda is TERRIFYING WHY AM I DOING THIS CANDY BARS ARE SO CHEAP! Am I doing something wrong? Should this take so long? What’s that burning smell? Oh my pot-holder is on fire. I knew this candy thermometer would come in handy. These are the things that are important, but not indicated in the recipe instructions below. Here are the step-by-step tones and emotions you might go through with this recipe. Whatever you call it, it’s really just granulated sugar + chemistry. Maybe you call it sea foam, hokey pokey, Violet Crumble, sponge toffee, crack candy, dangerzone, or Crunchie Rocks. I think every part of the world has a different name for honeycomb.
I received a few congratulatory emails and I thank you… and that was awkward for me alone. If I were, I probably wouldn’t announce it in a Chocolate Dipped Banana post.
If my last post on Chocolate Dipped Bananas left you feeling like I was engaged to be married, rest assured that I am not engaged. The result? Fluffy sweet, crunchy sweet, completely addictive sweet CANDY! When baking soda and vigorous whisking are added to the mix, things change, on the quick. When sugar is boiled down with a bit of water and vinegar, things seem pretty benign. That’s homemade pepper spray and I’ve definitely never done that… but I know someone who has. It’s not like that time you threw in cayenne pepper with your olive oil and corn kernels to make popcorn and gassed yourself out of the house. You’re right.Ī lot of things are chemistry in the kitchen, but this honeycomb situation is burning hot, boiling chemistry all up in your face. Wait… is that a thing that people say? No. I’ve always wondered what chemistry tastes like.
