yours is the most beautiful of all the honeycombs i've seen in my research!
I love this recipe -- great job!
Hi Margie! I always look forward to your extra videos in fall and winter. It's too hot in summer for running ovens and burners while recording.
Love your videos and recipes. Thanks!!
Great lesson and video!! Thanks a million Margie.
I added 2 tablespoons of Honey to mine...Yum that little hint of the honey 🍯 is perfect, thank you for your video 👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Margie you helped me make this candy
Ooo it looks so spongey 😋 I’m going to try and make this!
Did you try this?
Great video! Looks great!
Thank you! Margie
This is extremely easy do it all the time..good job
Your theory about the brushing of the rim with water is dubious. You brush the rim with water to wash off sugar particles that stick to the sides of that pan, burn, and fall into your caramel and make it bitter.
very nice thank you !
Glad you’re doing more videos Margie!
wow!
Hey, Margie. I only have Pancake Syrup at the moment (with artificial maple flavor, I guess). Can I use that in place of the corn syrup? Thank you and more power to your channel!
no
Yes, some recipes I've seen do not require corn syrup, they just use regular sugar. You probably can use maple syrup in lieu of corn syrup, just add some more sugar to the recipe...like 1/4 - 1/2 cup. Good luck.
Hello Margie, I’m about to into the kitchen and try your recipe as it looks yummy, I’ve tried other recipes they turn out like really sticky toffee I have to bin them. In Scotland it’s called Puff Candy I’ll let you know how it turned out. Thank you 🤗🏴
Yellow man in Ulster or honeycomb
How did they come out?
@@lauran.testins Hello Lauren, I just can’t get it right, as my son says I’m a hopeless case😂😂 I’ll let you know when I try again. Goodnight.🤗🤗🥰
I've tried about 8 different recipes and the only one that didn't come out right was one that had me take it off the stovetop at 240°. All the others say to take it off the flames at 300° and a cpl said 320° if this recipe doesn't work try making a smaller batch with 1 cup sugar, 4 tbs corn syrup, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp white vinegar. Mix on med heat, turn to med-high til rolling bubbles 300°take off heat. Add 1 tbsp vanilla extract. Add 1 tbsp baking soda and mix quickly. Pour on parchment paper or greased pan/plate. Good luck 🤞
Honey comb candy is ole fashion,Mary Jane's penny candy.
Mmmm...I love Mary Janes!
Hi, I wonder if you tried adding the vanilla to the pot when you add the sugars, this should safe you from the splatter as it fizzles. This may also help reduce the temperature dropping too much for when you add the baking soda.
Lovely video, I shall be making some for my children soon thank you x
Every different variations of this recipe that calls for vanilla extract says to throw it on at the end. Id imagine it cooks out at such a high heat🤷♂️and that's why they don't say to add it in the beginning. Idk that's why I leave stuff like this to the professionals.
how is it preserved and how long is it duration? PLISSS
you should not stir the sugar as it crystallises the sugar.
Came here after Watching "SQUID GAME"
Mine get sticky next day why??? 😢 Whats the problem
humidity
Margie, this really does work well! The water brush was a key and amount of time at temp, too.
I am going to higher altitudes soon and I hope I can find a way to adjust so I get the same honeycomb effect. It takes longer to reach boiling temperatures there.
It goes by sea level. Decrease 2 degrees for every 1000 feet. If the recipe says to cook to 380 F. and you are at 1000 feet you would decrease the temp 2 degrees. When the temp reaches 378 degrees the recipe is done and if you are at 5,000 feet (Denver). 5x2=10 Cook the recipe to 370 F. I hope that helps. I hope the sponge candy comes out for you. Be sure your thermometer is right. test in water. Water boils at 212 at sea level. I works the same way. subtract 2 degrees for every 1000 feet. What elevation are you going to? Margie
Some oil/butter on paper would help
Thank you I will try that. Margie
No stirring
Only for a moment at the very start, then stop ND let the baking soda make the candy do its sponge thing
Could I at some point add peanut butter to this? Before it cools or before the baking soda is added?
Margie's It's No Secret thank you for replying!
Maybe use peanutbutter extract instead of vanilla?
Trypophobia warning!
Looks too hard to eat!
It is a porous candy and hard at the same time, which makes it not as hard to eat. But I get it, it is not a soft caramel. Thank you for watching for making a comment. Margie
You added no honey? Wth is this crap! Lol
Honey Comb Candy does not contain honey. It is called Honey Comb because of the texture.
Some recipes also add 1 1/2 T. honey, but most do not -- I prefer this recipe with no honey/tastes better to me. By the way, you're a jerk the rude way you worded your comment -- put your manners back in!
