Chocolate Honey Taffy
This honey candy is a bit of a stretch, but worth it.
When life gives you honey, why not turn it into candy? That’s exactly what inspired this recipe for chocolate honey taffy! After trading some lollipops for a jar of golden, local honey at a market, I wanted to create something special that would showcase its natural sweetness—and what’s more fun (and delicious) than pulling taffy?
This recipe is a twist on classic taffy-making, swapping out corn syrup for honey to create a soft, chewy treat with a deep chocolatey flavor and a touch of natural sweetness. It’s perfect for anyone who loves the idea of homemade candy with wholesome ingredients—or just wants an excuse to play with their food. Ready to dive in? Let’s turn that honey into a sweet, stretchy masterpiece!
