Steps:
- Line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper (sides and bottom). Set aside until needed.
- Keep a spatula and a whisk ready, as you will need them towards the end of the cook time.
- Place the sugar, golden syrup / corn syrup, water, and salt in a large saucepan (this mixture will expand a lot, so use a large pot with enough space).
- Gently stir to saturate the sugar with the water.
- Heat over medium high heat, while swirling the pot frequently to ensure the sugar is dissolved.
- Brush the sides of the pot with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to dissolve the sugar crystals on the side of the pot. Do NOT stir the sugar syrup.
- When the sugar syrup comes to a boil and all the sugar has dissolved, clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pot.
- Heat the sugar mixture until it reaches 300°F. Swirl the pot as you heat the sugar to make sure the syrup is evenly heating (check several spots in the syrup with the candy thermometer to make sure it's evenly heating).
- Get the prepared pan, whisk, and spatula ready when the sugar syrup is close to 300°F. You can use an oven mitt for whisking the sugar base in the following steps, if you like.
- When the sugar syrup reaches 300°F, remove the pot from the heat and immediately add all of the baking soda.
- Whisk the baking soda well into the sugar syrup. Make sure to reach all the corners of the pot. The sugar syrup will expand into a foamy honeycomb mixture.
- As soon as the baking soda is thoroughly mixed in and the mixture has expanded, scrape the honeycomb mixture into the prepared pan.
- Allow the mixture to harden for a few hours.
- Once the candy is hardened, remove it from the pan and peel off the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board.
- Use the tip of a sharp knife to break the honeycomb into pieces. These will be uneven pieces.
- While the sugar syrup is cooking, bloom the gelatin in the water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Let it bloom for 10 minutes.
- Microwave the gelatin for just a few seconds to dissolve the gelatin. Do NOT let it boil.
- Add the dissolved warm gelatin mixture into the sugar syrup, followed by the baking soda. Whisk vigorously, and then transfer the mix into the prepared pan (as per instructions above).
- Temper the chocolate using this guide.
- Dip the honeycomb toffee in tempered chocolate (you can dip them either fully or partially). Alternatively, you can brush the chocolate on the toffees with a clean, dry pastry brush.
- Place them on a parchment paper lined tray. Sprinkle salt on top before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature (do not put them in the fridge).
- Uncoated honeycomb toffee - Store these honeycomb pieces in an air-tight container at room temperature for about 1 week (or 2 weeks if it's not humid). Place parchment paper or wax paper between layers of the honeycomb to prevent them from sticking to each other.
- Chocolate coated honeycomb toffee - These can be stored at room temp for much longer (even up to a month) in an air-tight container.
- Do NOT store these in the fridge or freezer.

HONEYCOMB TOFFEE
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Tip the almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds onto a baking sheet. Toast until they begin to color, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes) and stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
- Spray a 9-by-12-inch baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add the granulated sugar, butter, brown sugar, kosher salt and 2 tablespoons of water to a heavy-bottomed saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Cook over medium-high heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the thermometer registers 300 degrees F, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Sprinkle in the baking soda and mix. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and tip the baking sheet to spread the toffee evenly. Let it cool and set, about 6 minutes.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the toffee. Scatter the toasted nuts and seeds, raisins and mini chocolate candy over the melted chocolate and sprinkle with the sea salt. Let set for 2 hours, then break the toffee into shards.
COFFEE TOFFEE CRUNCH BARS
These homemade candy bars are reminiscent of your favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream - chocolate feuilletine crust and a coffee mousse are layered together for contrasting flavor and crunch. Once the bars have set, cut them into rectangles and top each with a white chocolate cremeux for a decadent, sweet treat.

Steps:
- For the base: Line a baking sheet with parchment and put a 15-by-11-inch ring mold on top. Spray the parchment and ring mold with cooking spray.
- Melt the praline paste and white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) a saucepan of simmering water, stirring to combine. Fold in the feuilletine. Spread evenly on the bottom of the prepared ring mold. Sprinkle the crushed toffee pieces over the crust. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- For the mousse: Put the milk chocolate in a large bowl. Bloom the gelatin sheets in a bowl of ice water until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Bring the milk, coffee extract, salt and bloomed gelatin to a boil in a medium saucepan. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve over the milk chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Allow to cool to 90 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Meanwhile, whip the cream by hand or with an electric mixer on medium speed until it holds a ribbon on the surface when the whisk is lifted.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions. Pour over the feuilletine base and smooth evenly with an offset spatula. Allow to set, about 45 minutes, then wrap with plastic wrap and freeze the layered base overnight.
- For the cremeaux: Put the white chocolate and glucose syrup in a large bowl. Bloom the gelatin sheets in a bowl of ice water until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Bring the cream, milk and bloomed gelatin to a boil in a large saucepan. Strain through a fine mesh sieve over the white chocolate and glucose. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface so it doesn't form a skin and cover the bowl with another piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Flip the frozen layered base over (still in the ring mold), peel off the parchment and place on another parchment-lined baking sheet. Run a hot knife around the edges of the layered base and lift the ring mold to remove. Let sit at room temperature until it can be cut, 15 to 20 minutes and no more than 30 minutes. Test by touching the center with your fingertip. If it leaves a fingerprint, it's ready to cut.
- Cut into 1-by-4-inch inch bars (or whatever size you want). Whip the cremeux to stiff peaks with an electric mixer on medium-high speed and place in a piping bag with a small plain round or star pastry tip. Pipe the cremeux in small dollops or rosettes on top of each bar.

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE
Notes about the recipe: I'm always searching for the perfect crunchy toffee that's not sticking to your teeth once you bite into it, and I think I have it here! I serve this on my elaborate petit-four cart as one of 12 treats at the end of the very long meal at my restaurant Tru. I have recently discovered (and become totally addicted to) the marvelous Marcona almond, the favorite of Spanish chefs and tapas-lovers. I nibble them with wine before dinner; I add them to salads; I serve them with cheese; and I stick them into every dessert I can - sometimes all in one day! Marconas are tender and toasty, never hard and dry like some supermarket almonds: you can buy them online at www.tienda.com. This combination of almonds with crunchy toffee and bittersweet chocolate is fantastic. You'll be amazed that you made it - and so will any friends that you give it to. It makes a great holiday gift.

Steps:
- Line a sided sheet pan with a silicone baking mat, or oil it well with vegetable oil (or use a heavyweight nonstick sheet pan).
- Pour the sugar into the center of a saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Pour the water around the edge of the pan and wait to allow the water to moisten the sugar. (You can draw a clean finger through the center of the pan to allow some water to seep in.) Add the corn syrup and bring to a boil. Add the butter and boil until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F.
- Turn off the heat and whisk in the cocoa; then stir in the nuts. Quickly pour the mixture onto the center of the prepared pan and let it spread out - it may not reach the sides of the pan. Set aside to cool at room temperature until hard. Using your hands (I wear gloves to avoid fingerprints), pry the toffee out of the pan and break into large pieces. Store in an airtight container. The toffee will keep well for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
BUTTERCRUNCH TOFFEE
Steps:
- In a saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add sugar and lecithin and stir constantly with a wooden spoon over medium heat. When mixture comes to a boil, add the corn syrup and continue stirring constantly to prevent burning until temperature reaches 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
- After mixture reaches 300 degrees F, remove from heat and add salt and chopped almonds, if using, and mixing gently. Pour into a well buttered shallow pan. Depth of toffee should be approximately 1/4-inch.
- Before toffee sets, score with a knife into uniform pieces. Toffee should be stored in an airtight container.

18 HONEY DESSERTS THAT COULDN'T BEE MORE DELICIOUS
From allrecipes.com
Author Mary Claire LagrouePublished Aug 24, 2020Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Honey Cake I. "This is an old German recipe," recipe creator Suzanne Stull says, adding that it tastes even better when it's baked in advance.
- Torrone (Italian Nut and Nougat Confection) If you love nougat, you'll go nuts over this honey-based candy. Bad puns aside, roasted pistachios and almonds give Chef John's take on Italian torrone a satisfying crunch.
- Greek Baklava. Thanks to store-bought phyllo dough, baking syrupy, flaky baklava takes less effort than you'd think. The recipe doesn't specify which nuts to use in the filling, but reviewers can vouch for pistachios and walnuts (which this Middle Eastern and Mediterranean pastry traditionally calls for) as well as pecans.
- Lemon Honey Butter Tarts. Top unbaked tart shells with sour-sweet lemon curd for another treat that uses store-bought dough. "My grandmother used to keep bees, and all of us tried to come up with new ways to use honey.
- Lavender Honey Ice Cream. "So, so, so good! I've made my fair share of ice cream, and this is up there with the most amazing consistencies I've come across.
- Greek Honey Cake. Honey, cinnamon, orange zest, and lemon juice flavor this moist Greek Honey Cake, known as karithopeta. Reviewers compare its taste to baklava, but the two desserts' textures totally differ.
- Honey Lavender Cookies. Between honey and lavender, these cookies will easily win over anyone who goes for floral flavors. Whole-wheat flour gives these cookies a drier, crunchier texture that pairs well with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Honey Crunch Pecan Pie. The secret to this five-star pecan pie lies in its crunchy topping, made of honey, butter, brown sugar, and pecans. But the tiny bit of bourbon in its filling doesn't hurt.
- Honeycomb Toffee. Whisking baking soda into a homemade honey syrup before letting it cool traps bubbles, resulting in airy, crunchy toffee. "This toffee reminds me of my grandmother's cottage in Britain in the 1940s.
- Real Sopapillas. Have these Latin American fried pastries on the table in 45 minutes using ingredients you probably have on hand: all-purpose flour, baking powder, shortening, salt, and frying oil.
