Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 tbsp honey; cook without stirring until sugar melts and turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Remove from heat and immediately whisk in 1 tsp baking soda vigorously; the mixture will foam up and become light and airy.
  4. Step 4: Pour the honeycomb mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Once cooled, break the honeycomb into small irregular pieces and transfer to a large bowl.
  6. Step 6: Melt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Step 7: Pour the melted chocolate over the honeycomb pieces along with 1/2 cup chopped roasted almonds; gently fold to coat all pieces.
  8. Step 8: Using two spoons, drop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes until set.
