Yes. Another batch of Honeycomb Brulee, this time with rose essential oil (about 4 drops).  The weather is cooperating today so I figured I'd give it a try, since all of our Honeycomb candy was eaten and my husband was hoping for more.  Because of the rose essential oil and honey together, the kitchen smells impossibly floral and glorious.  This batch came out beautifully so far, puffy, golden and bubbly just how it's supposed to.  What I'm hoping for flavor wise is a very delicate rose aroma/taste that compliments the floral of the honey. Texture is super important here.  You don't want deflated Honeycomb candy because then you might as well just make honey hard candy (which by the way, is really, really good). The bubbles are what makes this candy.  The structural integrity of those bubbles are solely your responsibility.  Too much stirring and you kill off all the baking soda's magic, stir too little and you get gross clumps of baking soda in your not-so-bubbly candy. The most important step in making this candy is the ability to just walk out of the kitchen (for about an hour) after you pour the bubbly mess into a prepared pan.  Touching it, moving it, bumping it, washing dishes next to it...all of these things will destroy all of your hard work.  Just walk away.

I also learned a big lesson with this particular candy.  Honey scorches at high temperatures so I never turn my stove up past 8...or "medium-high".  This is a candy that may need a quick stir from time to time while it boils...this is hard for me because I'm conditioned not to stir boiling candy because this can cause the sugar to "seize".  This candy needs a stir every 5 minutes to make sure the honey isn't scorching on the bottom of your pan.

After an hour go ahead and lift up one edge and break it with your hands or you can use a knife.  Eating this candy is crazy addictive.  The texture keeps you coming back for more.

I just broke up this batch into smaller, bite sized pieces.  Pretty good.  Unfortunately, I have made this candy at least 20 times and at least half of the batches have failed to bubble up as I want.  I'll try again...maybe in an hour or so...
