HONEYCOMB  CRUMBLE   Kathy Virgin

 

1 recipe of Honeycomb

2 pkgs 12 oz chocolate bits *see note

 

To make the Honeycomb Crumble break the honeycomb into small pieces.  Melt two *12 oz bags of Wilton's Candy Melts (Cocoa flavored) OR  two *12 oz. packages of chocolate chips with 2 tsp. shortening.

Stir the crumbled honeycomb into the melted chocolate and drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper and let set.   Really good!

Yield:  2 1/2 pounds of candy

 

 

 

 

Honeycomb

1 cup sugar                                                        1 tbsp vinegar

1 cup dark corn syrup                                       1 tbsp baking soda

 

Line an 9 X 9 pan with foil and lightly butter it.

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and vinegar in heavy saucepan.  Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.  Continue cooking without stirring until a little of mixture dropped in cold water becomes brittle, or to 300 degrees f. on candy thermometer.

 

Remove candy from heat.  Quickly stir in soda; mix well.  Pour into lightly buttered 9x9x2 inch pan.  Do not spread as candy will spread itself.  Cool.  Break into pieces.

 

Keep in airtight container, as candy begins to weep if exposed to the air unless dipped in chocolate.

Don’t try to make this on a rainy day.

 

Yield:  about 1 lb. Candy
