Recipe of the day-Homemade Vegan Chocolate Honeycomb Candy

I used to love getting these during Christmas time, used to be one of my favorite candies. So I was super excited when I found this recipe. It doesn't seem to complicated either.
Recipe is from Forkandbeans.com she has some great recipes to check out.


Ingredients
  1. 1/3 c. vegan butter
  2. 1/3 c. light corn syrup
  3. 2/3 c. vegan sugar (I like Zulka sugar)
  4. 3 Tb. water
  5. 2 1/2 tsp. baking soda (no clumps)
Instructions
  1. In a 8x8 glass pan, line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. On medium heat, combine all of the ingredients together except for the baking soda in a deep saucepan (keep in mind that when you eventually mix it in, the baking soda will make the recipe explode like lava--this is why you want a deep pot). Be sure to stir continuously.
  3. Once the sugar dissolves, turn heat up to medium-high heat until the mixture begins to boil. Do not stir at this point. Allow to boil for 5-7 minutes. It will be tempting to walk away but don't! After the 5 minute mark, the candy's temp will spike and you will burn it if you do not keep an eye on it.
  4. Once the mixture becomes a golden caramel color, immediately whisk in the baking soda until completely mixed in. Watch the science experiment begin!
  5. Place into the parchment paper-lined pan and allow to cool down and set for 30 minutes. Do not touch! Those air pockets are imperative for the texture in this candy.
  6. Break with a knife once it sets and coat with melted chocolate if you desire.
