Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes about 1 (9×9-inch) pan of candy
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup honey (or golden syrup for a traditional twist)
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 tsp baking soda , sifted (to avoid lumps)
Optional Coating : Melted dark, milk, or white chocolate for dipping
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan
Line a 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Sugar Mixture
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, water, and butter. Stir gently over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture boil undisturbed. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Cook until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) —the hard crack stage.
Step 3: Add the Baking Soda
Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately once the candy reaches the correct temperature.
Quickly whisk in the sifted baking soda. Be careful, as the mixture will bubble up dramatically due to the chemical reaction. Whisk just until combined—do not overmix, as you want to preserve the airy texture.
Step 4: Pour and Cool
Immediately pour the bubbling mixture into the prepared pan. Do not spread it, as this can deflate the bubbles. Let it set at room temperature for 1–2 hours , or until completely cool and hardened.
