Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the Pan

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Have all ingredients measured and ready before starting.

2
Combine Sugar Ingredients

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, honey, and water.

3
Heat the Mixture

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves completely.

4
Boil Without Stirring

Once sugar is dissolved, stop stirring and bring mixture to a boil. Insert a candy thermometer and cook until mixture reaches 300°F (150°C), or hard crack stage.

5
Add Vanilla

Remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla extract.

6
Add Baking Soda

Working quickly, add baking soda and whisk vigorously for about 5 seconds. The mixture will foam up dramatically.

7
Pour Onto Prepared Pan

Immediately pour the foaming mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not spread or touch it.

8
Cool Completely

Allow the honeycomb to cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.

9
Break Into Pieces

Once completely cooled and hardened, break the honeycomb into pieces.

10
Store

Store in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper, in a cool, dry place.
