Honeycomb Toffee Sponge Candy Recipe 425

HONEYCOMB TOFFEE

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 RECIPE

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Before you begin, be sure to measure out your baking soda and set it aside, you will need to have it ready once your honeycomb candy comes to the correct temperature.
• Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a boil (this will take some time, don't turn up the heat above medium to speed up the process or you could ruin your candy).
• Once mixture begins to boil, attach your candy thermometer (make sure the tip of the thermometer is not touching the bottom of the pan) and don't stir any longer.
• Without stirring, cook to 300°F (149°C). Once mixture reaches temperature (it will still be clear at this point, it is supposed to be), immediately remove from heat and stir in your baking soda (heads-up! It's going to bubble up quite a bit).
• The mixture will immediately begin to foam, stir until baking soda is completely combined and the color turns golden, but don't over-stir or you'll end up deflating your candy and won't have any holes.
• Once foaming stops and baking soda is dissolved into the mixture, spread into prepared pan. Cool at least 1 hour before breaking into pieces (you may be able to use your hands, or whack it with a knife or use a mallet to tap a knife into the honeycomb to break).
• If desired, dip or drizzle cooled broken honeycomb pieces with melted chocolate.

HONEYCOMB TOFFEE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line a 9"x9" (23cmx23cm) baking dish with parchment paper and grease thoroughly.
• Set aside a metal whisk and one Tablespoon of baking soda.
• In a large saucepan (bigger the better - as this will more than triple in size) over medium/high heat-combine sugar, corn syrup, and water.
• Stir to incorporate, then leave to boil. Insert candy thermometer and continue to heat-without stirring-until the mixture reaches 300˚F (150˚C).
• Remove from heat and ~working quickly~...add the baking soda and quickly whisk into the sugar syrup (whisking for no more than five seconds-to prevent deflating the toffee). The mixture will begin to expand, quickly pour it into the prepared pan and leave to set DO NOT MOVE for one to two hours.
• Once the toffee has cooled and set, remove from pan and using a blunt object, shatter the toffee into bite size pieces.
• Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for 75-90 seconds. Make sure to stop and stir after every 30 seconds.
• Dip the toffee pieces in chocolate and place on a lined baking tray. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and place in the refrigerator to cool for 15 minutes.
• Enjoy!

HONEYCOMB TOFFEE | CINDER TOFFEE RECIPE

Steps:

• To prepare Honeycomb Toffee | Cinder Toffee Recipe, it is very important to get all the ingredients at an arm's reach, since it is a quick recipe. Also, grease the parchment paper thoroughly and line a baking sheet.
• Take a Large Saucepan and pour in sugar, corn syrup/golden syrup, and water and mix well till combined.
• Now, on a high flame, let the sugar melt. Do not try to sauté or mix. You can only swirl the pan a couple of times, though.
• Dip in a Candy thermometer set it to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. (Mine reached this stage after 4 minutes 50 seconds).
• Witness magic of soda now. Take the pan off the flame and add baking soda and whisk vigorously with a wooden ladle for about 30 turns. The mixture will bubble up high like lava at this stage (thrice the initial volume). The color changes to amber.
• Pour the bubbling mixture on a lined baking pan with greased parchment paper and let it set for 2 hours in open air at room temperature.
• Break the honeycomb candy brittle, with a kitchen hammer or a heavy spoon.
• Store in an airtight jar away from moisture and enjoy homemade honeycomb toffee whenever you want, dipped in warm chocolate ganache. Serve it along with Fresh Ginger Lemonade to pair with Spinach Corn Sandwich Recipe during snack time.

SPONGE CANDY

Steps:

• Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium heavy-bottomed, tall sided saucepan over medium heat, stir together the corn syrup, brown sugar, and vinegar. Stir frequently, bringing mixture to a boil.
• Once the mixture is boiling, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan, making sure the tip of the thermometer is in the boiling liquid, but not touching the bottom of the pan.
• Continue to cook on medium without stirring the candy until it reaches 300°F on your candy thermometer.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the baking soda. Mixture will bubble up creating the bubbles and texture in the candy. Mix only until the baking soda is evenly combined, careful not to over-stir as this will deflate the bubbles.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan as evenly as you can. Tilt the pan around to help the candy spread, but don't hit the pan or use a spatula to spread, as this will deflate the bubbles. It's ok if it's not perfectly even.
• Sprinkle with flaked sea salt if desired, and allow the candy to cool in the pan for at least an hour.
• Remove candy from the pan using the parchment paper to lift it out and break the candy into pieces using a mallet or a knife. I don't worry too much about the pieces being perfectly shaped.

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

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.

SPONGE TOFFEE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, syrup, and vanilla in a medium-size saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
• Continue to cook to 300 degrees F, on a candy thermometer or hard crack stage, about 10 minutes. Cook's Note: You can use a candy thermometer or a simple trick: take a spoon and drop a tiny drizzle of the mixture into a bowl of water. If it crystallizes, you've reached the hard crack stage.
• Remove from the heat, using a wooden spoon, stir in the baking soda quickly. It will become frothy. Pour into an 8 by 8-inch/20 by 20-cm pan, lined with parchment paper and buttered.
• Let cool for about 30 minutes and break into pieces.
