A delightful homemade honeycomb candy recipe that is easy to prepare and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Prepare an 8-inch square pan by greasing it with butter or spraying with non-stick spray.
Ensure the pan is well-greased to prevent the candy from sticking.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Mix well.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to ensure even heat distribution.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring.
Avoid stirring to prevent crystallization.
Continue boiling until the mixture reaches a light amber color, about 5-7 minutes.
Watch closely to avoid burning the sugar.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly whisk in the baking soda until fully incorporated.
Work quickly as the mixture will foam up rapidly.
Pour the foamy mixture into the prepared pan and let it set at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Do not disturb the mixture while it sets to maintain its airy texture.
Break the set honeycomb into pieces and enjoy as is or use as a topping.
Use a rolling pin to gently break the candy into desired sizes.
