HONEYCOMB TOFFEE



Honeycomb Toffee image

This very fun and simple-to-make candy goes by many names; cinder toffee, sponge candy, and my personal favorite, 'hokey pokey,' but no matter what you call it, this eye-catching confection is a proven crowd pleaser. Thousands of bubbles, trapped in the cooling sugar syrup, give this the most interesting melt-in-your-mouth texture. As long as you're very careful and heat the syrup up to the correct temp, there's not a lot that can go wrong.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper, measure out baking soda in a small bowl, and have a heat-proof spatula ready before starting.
  • Whisk sugar, corn syrup, honey, and water together in a saucepan with a candy thermometer attached. Heat over medium heat until mixture is thinner but still cloudy. Let bubble until mixture is clear and thermometer registers 300 degrees F (149 degrees C).
  • Remove from heat. Whisk in baking soda until just incorporated. Switch to a spatula and very carefully pour into the lined dish. Do not spread it out with your spatula or compress mixture at all, or the bubbles will deflate. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove candy from the pan by lifting out the parchment paper. Rap against the counter and use your fingers to break it into individual pieces.

HONEYCOMB TOFFEE - SPONGE CANDY RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Honeycomb Toffee - Sponge Candy Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by micpad

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups (1 pound) granulated sugar
4 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup or golden syrup
2 cups water
1 teaspoon baking soda, sifted
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 (1-ounce square) unsweetened baking chocolate

Steps:

  • Butter or oil an 8-inch square pan; set aside. NOTE: I like to line my pan with the Silicone Baking Mats. In a large heavy saucepan (I like to use my small Cast-Iron Dutch Oven) over medium-high heat, place sugar, vinegar, golden syrup, and water. NOTE: A large pot is needed because sugar has a tendency to boil over. Gently heat the mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar has dissolved and syrup has melted. Bring to a boil, cover and boil approximately 3 minutes, and then uncover and boil until temperature reaches 285 degrees F. on a candy thermometer (hard-crack stage) and the mixture turns a light amber color. Check out What's Cooking America's Kitchen Store too view and purchase Candy Thermometers (if desired). Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda, mixing well to allow bubbles to subside a little. CAUTION: once you add the baking soda the mixture will bubble up quite a bit. Again, make sure your pot is large enough or it will bubble over the sides. The trick is to combine the soda without bursting the bubbles as little as possible. The baking soda is what gives it its light airy texture. Quickly pour into prepared pan (so that mixture stops cooking and doesn't burn - do not spread, as this will make all the bubbles disappear) and leave until just beginning to set (as it cools, it will harden). After candy has cooled, cut or break into pieces. Honeycomb can be eaten as is, or you can dip it in chocolate (my choice). In a large micro-proof bowl, combine chocolate chips, vegetable shortening, and baking chocolate. Microwave on HIGH 2 minutes. Using wooden spoon, stir until melted; remove from heat. Dip honeycomb pieces into the melted chocolate, covering completely. Place on waxed paper to cool. When cool, wrap each candy individually in wax paper, twisting the ends together, and store in an airtight container. NOTE: This candy cannot be left out in the open for any extended length of time, as it will draw moisture from the air and become a sticky mess.
