While I love making Honeycomb Brulee, the weather is not cooperating.  Tons of Rain.  So, instead, I'm going to start my quality control tests for Valentine candy making a bit early.  Then, I'll return to my true obsession...mastering Honeycomb Brulee.

I'm making 2 candies so far for sure:

Homemade Conversation Hearts
                    &
Honey Sesame Snaps

I'm excited because while I'm not a big fan of the taste or texture of "store bought" conversation hearts. But, I love the idea of them and I love a challenge to make their texture enjoyable and the taste way better.  I'm not too sure that is a difficult challenge given the store bought chalk that they call "candy".   The flavors I have chosen for my conversation hearts are:
Grape
Wild Raspberry
Marshmallow
Cinnamon
But, that's next week...

Tomorrow I'll  be making the Honey Sesame Snaps.  These are a Greek delight.  So good.  Finding bulk sesame seeds and pure honey for a reasonable price is not easy.  But, once you make these little gorgeous, satisfying, golden treats...you will want them around all the time.  Great snack for adults and kids...nutritious candy!! See you tomorrow.  <3
