Taste of Thursday with Petite Kitchen: Honey Butter Candy
Taste of Thursday with Petite Kitchen, Honey Butter Candy.
This buttery, hard candy only contains four simple ingredients. Honey, butter, dried fruit and seeds. It can be made in a matter of minutes and is bound to satisfy any sweet tooth. The perfect home made treat that you can devour without feeling guilty.
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of honey
1 cup of mixed dried fruit and seeds (any nuts work well here also)
Line a baking tray with baking paper, then grease lightly (or else the baking paper sticks to the candy)
In a small saucepan on medium heat, heat the butter and honey until ‘hard crack’ stage on a candy thermometer (150°C). It is important that you use a thermometer as the candy needs to be heated to the perfect temperature to set.
Add the fruit and seeds, then stir over heat for 1 minute. Pour the mixture on to the baking tray then refrigerate until completely cooled. Using your hands, break the candy in to pieces.
Best stored in the fridge, can go a little soft at room temperature.
Makes around 20 pieces depending on size.
