Tasty‘s honeycomb toffee is so addicting! It has a crunchy texture and is perfectly sweet. This is definitely a different kind of candy. It has the same intricate web pattern as a honeycomb where it gets its name. You can serve it as is or coat it with melted dark chocolate and sprinkle sea salt on top for a balanced flavor. The bitterness and saltiness complement well with the sweetness of this candy.

For coating (optional):
Start by lining a 9-inch baking tray with parchment paper and grease it well.
Prepare a metal whisk and 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Set them aside for later.
In a very large saucepan over medium/high heat, add the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Mix until well combined. Let it come to a boil.
Insert the candy thermometer and continue to heat without stirring until it reaches 300F.
Remove it from heat. Work quickly for this next step. Add the baking soda and quickly whisk into the sugar syrup. Whisk no more than 5 seconds. It will begin to expand, then immediately pour into the prepared pan. Leave it and do not move it for about 1 to 2 hours.
Once it has cooled and set, gently remove it from the pan. Using a blunt object, shatter the toffee into small pieces.
This step is optional. Add the chocolate into a heat-proof bowl and melt in the microwave for about 75 to 90 seconds, stirring after every 30 seconds. Dip each toffee in the melted chocolate and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle sea salt on top and refrigerate for about 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
