• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 tsp. honey
• 1/4 tsp. powdered gelatin
• 3 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 bar semisweet chocolate , for dipping (optional)

Active time: 30 minutes
Total time: 2 hours, 40 minutes

Lightly butter and flour a 9" x 13" aluminum roasting pan; set aside.

In a medium pot, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring gently, until sugar has dissolved; it will start to bubble. Swirl occasionally. Add honey and continue cooking until temperature reaches 325°, then turn off heat. Let pan sit 3 minutes.

Dissolve gelatin in a scant 1 teaspoon water until it starts to thicken. Vigorously stir gelatin into sugar mixture until thoroughly combined, then stir in baking soda. Pour immediately into prepared pan. Do not move pan; let sit for at least 2 hours, then use a large fork or hammer to break apart pieces. If desired, dip in melted chocolate.
