How to make Honeycomb Toffee | Cinder Toffee Recipe

  1. To prepare Honeycomb Toffee | Cinder Toffee Recipe, it is very important to get all the ingredients at an arm’s reach, since it is a quick recipe. Also, grease the parchment paper thoroughly and line a baking sheet.

  2. Take a Large Saucepan and pour in sugar, corn syrup/golden syrup, and water and mix well till combined.

  3. Now, on a high flame, let the sugar melt. Do not try to sauté or mix. You can only swirl the pan a couple of times, though.

  4. Dip in a Candy thermometer set it to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. (Mine reached this stage after 4 minutes 50 seconds).

  5. Witness magic of soda now. Take the pan off the flame and add baking soda and whisk vigorously with a wooden ladle for about 30 turns. The mixture will bubble up high like lava at this stage (thrice the initial volume). The color changes to amber.

  6. Pour the bubbling mixture on a lined baking pan with greased parchment paper and let it set for 2 hours in open air at room temperature.

  7. Break the honeycomb candy brittle, with a kitchen hammer or a heavy spoon.

  8. Store in an airtight jar away from moisture and enjoy homemade honeycomb toffee whenever you want, dipped in warm chocolate ganache. Serve it along with Fresh Ginger Lemonade to pair with Spinach Corn Sandwich Recipe during snack time.
