These are really creamy and delicious, but they are a little soft. It is best to serve them straight out of the fridge. I used raw honey, which I know kills the enzymes, but I buy it in bulk for a better price than "regular" honey. That's why there are flecks of dark in the candy.Ingredients
2 1/2 cups honey
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
1/2 cup water
Method
Grease a square pan 8x8x2 inches with butter or coconut oil. Heat all ingredients in a three quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until boiling. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture reaches 245 degrees F. on a candy thermometer (firm ball stage). Pour into prepared pan, and chill uncovered until set. Cut pieces as needed.
Oh my these sound wonderful! I will definitely be using these for some of my Christmas goodies! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteyum!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you buy your honey? I'm trying to find a good raw honey in bulk at a good price. These candies sound yummy. I made the Toffee Candies from Pecanbread.com and they were very good - similar method. However I used half as much honey and they were still super sweet!
ReplyDeletethanks,

I order my raw honey from azurestandard.com, but they have a limited delivery area, and a minimum order amount. Depending on where you are, there might already be a delivery site nearby.
ReplyDeleteYes, these are yummy, but very sweet. Candy is like that :) I can only eat a little bit at a time, but that's probably not a bad thing. I will probably try divinity for Christmas. I'll post if it turns out.
I just discovered your site while searching for a GAPS-friendly candy recipe for my kids. I will definitely be visiting again.
ReplyDeleteI do have a question, though. I tried making these yesterday, but they separated in the fridge. I now have a layer of fat with a layer of honey underneath. They taste good, but they're really messy. I have only attempted candy one time prior to this. It was a complete failure. Any idea what I could have done wrong to cause the separation? I did let the candy get to the "soft ball" line on my candy thermometer. Then I let it cool on the counter until it was safe to put in the fridge.
Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to trying some of your other recipes.
