    Ingredients

    • Vegetable oil cooking spray
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
    • Mix-ins, according to variation

    Directions

    1. Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Bring sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, until sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling occasionally, until mixture just starts to turn golden around edge.
    2. Stir in mix-ins. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is pale amber, about 8 minutes. Pour onto baking sheet without spreading. Let cool. Break into pieces.

    Cook's Note

      The sound on this video is terrible. How much honey and how much baking soda?

      Where would I find one of the infrared digital thermometer's used by Martha during the candy making segment? I am smitten:)
