A delightful honeycomb toffee recipe that is easy to make and perfect for snacking or gifting.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
Ensure the parchment paper covers the entire tray to prevent sticking.
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and honey over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning.
Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, cooking until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.
Keep a close eye on the temperature to avoid overcooking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda until the mixture froths.
Stir swiftly but gently to retain the frothy texture.
Pour the frothy mixture onto the prepared baking tray and let it cool completely.
Avoid spreading the mixture to maintain its airy texture.
Break the cooled honeycomb into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Use your hands or a rolling pin to break the honeycomb into desired sizes.
