Easily one of the most satisfying treats you'll ever make. My 4 ingredient maple honeycomb candy is the perfect sweet sponge toffee to make. This no bake recipe is vegan and gluten free.
Gather all of your ingredients and supplies. This recipe comes together very quickly.
Grease then line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
To Make the Honeycomb
Add 80ml (1/3 cup) water, 200 grams (1 cup) white sugar and 80 ml (1/3 cup) maple syrup to a large saucepan and bring it to a boil. There is no need to stir the mixture - you can simply swirl the pan carefully instead.
Place your candy thermometer on the side of the saucepan as we will need to keep an eye on the temperature. Keep boiling the mixture until it reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the pan from the stove top and pop it on a wooden board on your counter. Remove the candy thermometer and then quickly add two teaspoons of baking soda. Immediately stir it in very quickly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and let it cool completely. Do not be tempted to smooth out the honeycomb as that will deflate all of the wonderful bubbles.
Allow the honeycomb to cool completely before breaking up in to pieces. Enjoy!

Notes
This recipe is made in an 8x8 baking pan. If you prefer to use a larger baking sheet, double the recipe and make a full thick slab of honeycomb.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks (if you can resist it for that long!).
