Heat sugar, honey, and baking soda to create the airy, crunchy candy that's like edible foam. The baking soda reaction is almost magical to watch, and the result has a unique texture that's impossible to replicate with store-bought sweets.

β€œFrom the simplicity of the recipes that you find online it looks like this is something that can be made pretty quickly with minimal fuss. I mean, as long as you know what you’re doing when it comes to heating up sugars at high temperatures you won’t have any problems, right? Wrong. Two out of the three instances where I decided I was going to make it, something went wrong. More often than not it’s because I let the sugar boil for too long. [...] Next thing I knew the mixture had gone way past the amber color to more a dark dark brown burnt sugar mess that solidified into a solid as a rock dark sugar mess.”

β€œThis isn’t typical baking but I tried to make some honeycomb with my boyfriend over spring break and it turned out prettier than I expected for a first try! It was very chewy, I think we boiled it a little too long!! Would love to try it with other syrups like molasses or sorghum. We kind of eye balled the recipe!!”
