Honeycomb Toffee

I absolutely LOVE this recipe! So ridiculously easy, it's silly! Especially during Covid, when I get a craving for something sweet, this is my go-to so I don't ever have to run out to the store. I live at a high altitude, and for me, I don't use a thermometer as it usually burns long before it gets to temperature, so I just go by colour. When it gets to be a nice orangy amber, that's when I add the soda. Works like a charm. Personally, I add just tidge of vanilla (about 1/8 tsp) just for the added flavour, but it's not really necessary.

I did a test batch of this (since the ingredients are very common and inexpensive), in anticipation of doing baked goodie tins for Christmas, and it turned out well. I ran out of honey while mixing up an earlier recipe, so I was forced to add 2 tbsp extra of corn syrup to substitute, but I have since bought honey and fully intend to use it when I make the next batch for gifts. I used 1 tsp of baking soda, but I am thinking of splitting the difference on the next batch., which will also be coated in chocolate. I also think I got it a second overdone, but that is the exact reason I wanted to make a test batch. Candy is tricky and I wanted to have a little experience before I made things to give away to family. Great recipe and very easy. I don't usually watch the videos, but I absolutely did for this just to make sure I got it right. I love Crunchie bars and was excited to try to make something similar at home with few ingredients.

Simple recipe, clearly put. I used golden syrup (as per recipe suggestion) and farmer's market honey – the kinda stuff that comes in a twist-top Ball jar you get when going apple picking. I used a scant teaspoon of baking soda, I'd wager it came out to 1.25tsp? The flavor for me was spot on: a light cooked honey taste reminiscent of the crusty bits of a honey cake. I will make this again and will maybe experiment with other flavors.

I just made it with Morena sugar and substituted more honey for the syrup. Delicious! Next time I will make a double batch.

I followed the recipe exactly as written. I found the video very helpful as I didn't quite know the stages of this candy. A candy thermometer is important as it took some time to reach 300F from a medium heat. This turned out just like John's photo. Quite attractive and very airy. It tastes good but just not my type of candy.

I substituted water for coffee, and it turned out amazing! Definitely gonna try again with matcha and some fruit juice to see what flavors can be made. Update: I tried with 1 teaspoon matcha dissolved in 2 tablespoons water. The color turned to yellowish green. The crunchiness is still amazing but the bubbles are somewhat grainy. The matcha flavor is definitely there. Next will be beet puree.

Easy-good recipe

I didn't have a candy thermometer, so I eyeballed it using the video provided! So grateful for this recipe

I've made this several times. It comes out airy and crunchy. The only negative is that once you get past the initial crunchiness, it sticks to your teeth - didn't work out so great when I took it to an event with a lot of older folks without their own teeth.

this toffee reminds me of my grandmothers cottage in Britan in the 1940's. we would gather the honey from the bees in her yard. this gives me much nostalgia of simpler times. thank you!

So easy, just takes patience to esit for the mixture to reach 300 degrees. Because I used raw unfiltered honey, my mixture started darker. It was hard to wait because it looked like the mixture was burning. It wasn't. I decided to split the difference with the baking soda

I made a nice candy

Didn’t have honey so I use agave. It came out pretty nice, the taste is ok sweet with that after taste of something. Overall fun recipe thank you

This was horrible. It did not turn out at all and I did it according to the directions. Very disappointed.

Too sweet and gritty with sugar when broken down

i don't do thermometers lol. i didn't have corn syrup so i just added extra honey. great for a quick sweet treat.

Super easy and a stunning bit to top my orange chiffon cake!

I think I had a hard time whith the after tast

I have made it multiple times over, even had it chocolate covered, one of my first candies treats I have ever made, absolutely love it.

What a great recipe! Once I watched the video a few times, I felt confident enough to attempt it. It broke apart so nice and so fluffy!

Great easy recipe, very delicately flavored of caramelized honey. I coated mine in tempered dark chocolate to gift to a friend, and will be making this for the holidays too.

Amazing texture! So easy too. I used 1tsp +a pinch more of baking soda and am happy with the amount of bubbles. I used a candy thermometer, but I only got to 250 degrees before the syrup was starting brown and I pulled it off the heat.

Very easy recipe, I didn't have baking soda so I substituted the recipe for 3tsp of baking powder and it came out perfect.

This is not good. Even with 1 tbsp of baking soda you can tate it. Better off finding something else.

One thing I did was substitute molasses for honey just for flavor and it was incredible! overall it was an awesome recipe that I would definitely use it again!!!!

Came out great

Easy to make and more than good Any one with a sugar problem STAY AWAY PLEASE
