Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, sifted

Instructions:

  1. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In the saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Attach the candy thermometer. Cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C) or the hard crack stage.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the butter until melted and incorporated.
  5. Quickly add the sifted baking soda and whisk vigorously. The mixture will foam up dramatically.
  6. Immediately pour the foamy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not spread it.
  7. Let the toffee cool completely (about 30 minutes) until hardened. Break into pieces using your hands or tap gently with a knife or rolling pin to make Crumbly Golden Nectar: Homemade Honeycomb Toffee.
