As long as I can remember, I have woken up to honey candy on Christmas morning....never understanding how Mom had the time to make it all without us knowing. Well, now it's my turn, but I'm not as stealth! I make it right in front of my kids and then we eat it while we drive around an look at the lights. Because we only have it at Christmas, it's an extra special treat! Isn't it beautiful....almost looks like Rapunzel's hair in Tangled!
Honey Candy
1 C cream
1 C honey
1 C sugar
Boil together to soft crack stage (or hard crack if you like it harder). Pour into a buttered cake pan. When cool enough to handle, but still quite hot (the hotter the better, the longer you can pull it.), pull until lighter (the lighter the better) and glossy. When you can't pull it any longer, stretch out on greased counter top and cut into pieces. Wrap in wax paper, or toss with powdered sugar.
**16 minutes and 30 seconds in my microwave in an 8 C pyrex bowl is perfect!
Thank you Mom for passing down my most favorite Christmas tradition!

Only three ingredients but it looks hard to make. Is it seriously easy? I would love to try and make it.
