- Hello Everyone, I hope you're having a good day!
This one took a while to get right, but I am very happy to finally be able to bring you my recipe for the honey candy from Breath of the Wild!
There are a few tricky steps here, so I'll break them down in the recipe, but all you will need to make these are sugar, honey & water, plus flour, tinfoil and some kind of ball for moulding the tin foil around. So, I hope this recipe is accessible to everyone who wants to try it! Using a silicon ball mould would definitely be easier, and if you have one I would recommend using it. But my work around with the tin foil also works well :)

🧾INGREDIENTS🧾
🔹 50g Granulated Sugar
🔹 30g Water
🔹 20g Honey
◽ Tin Foil
◽ Flour
◽ Round Object
👨🍳METHOD👩🍳
🔸 Ideally you would use a silicon mould for this recipe, but if you don't have any, you can use the tin foil method outlined below.
IMPORTANT: The sugar syrup will be about 150°C when you pour it, so ensure that if you decide to use a different method, that your mould won't melt at this temperature. My polycarbonate mould will melt at 110°C so I couldn't use it for this recipe and had to improvise.
🔸 Prepare your tin foil moulds by cutting out squares of foil and pressing them around a round object. I doubled my foil over to make the moulds a bit stronger.
🔸 Fill a container with flour and place the moulds into it. This will stabilise the moulds and prevent them from falling over when we fill them later on.
🔸 Add the sugar and water to a microwave safe GLASS container, then heat in 30 second bursts until lightly golden brown or about 150°C/302°F. (*The syrup will reach around 150°C so glass is best as plastic will melt )
🔸 Test the syrup using the water test shown in the video. To do this, drop a small amount of syrup into a cup of water, allow it to cool, then assess the consistency of the drop. It should be hard and snap when you try to deform it. If it bends, heat your syrup some more, and repeat the test until it snaps.
🔸 Add the honey into the sugar. It will bubble, but don't worry, this is just the water in the honey boiling off. Now reheat the syrup for about 30 seconds in the microwave and test again for the snap. Continue heating and testing until it snaps, but it should be ready after the first heat.
WHY ADD THE HONEY LATER? - In my testing the honey burns if you add it from the start. I imagine that this is because the other compounds in the honey (Not the water or sugar) burn if heated for too long. By adding it in after we have already brought the bulk of the sugar to the hard crack stage, we are limiting the honey's exposure to the heat, which prevents it from burning🥳🍯
🔸 As soon as your syrup passes the water test, start to pour it into the moulds. They shouldn't take too long to set, but I would leave it at least 30 minutes, to ensure they are fully set before demoulding them.
🔸 If you would like to make round sweets, you can glue two hemispheres together by brushing one half with a little bit of water, then pressing a second sweet on top of it.
🔸 Finally, wrap the sweets in parchment paper and enjoy!
IMPORTANT: Sugar is a hygroscopic material, which means that it will suck in moisture from the air. Because of this, the candies will quickly start to become sticky if not stored in an airtight container. But even in the container, they will eventually get a bit sticky. So my advice is to eat them as fast as possible😋 But that won't be too hard, because they taste gooooooood🍯

Made some of these yesterday and I love them! I added some ground chili flakes for some spice and lemon juice for some others. I appreciate how you used materials that we all probably have at home, cuz I don't have a candy thermometer nor moulds. New subscriber!
Thank you for this comment! Its always nice to read how people got on with my recipes.
I'm glad you appreciated the choice of materials😅 I posted this on reddit and some people complained that it looked like to much work to set up. But I purposefully spent time working out how to make this recipe as accessible as possible, because I myself don't have an appropriate mould, and my thermometer is pretty bad.
@@jakeslife4152That’s Ok 🎉 I Have one
Good way to make dragon ball candies, just add some little star sprinkles to the centers before putting the two halves together.
I have currently started these, I will update when the sugar solidifies. I really like the use of materials we would already have!
did they finish solidifying yet?
It’s been a year did it ever solidify??? 😭
How long do these candies last? Thank you! They’re beautiful.
Sweet
Nice i will l put that salty red plum on the center
Ooo that sounds really delicious😋
Eh, my only gripe is that the recipe in game says "Instantly refills some of your Stamina Wheel. A natural sweet, brimming with nutrition and made by stewing fresh honey", which sounds to me like just boiling raw unfiltered honey until it reaches the right temp to crystalize into a hard candy, either soft or hard crack stage.
I agree! I actually tried using just honey in some of my tests, but it always burned before it got to the right temperature. I'm guessing that it has something to do with the other compounds present in the honey that aren't there in pure sugar, and that these compounds burn at a lower temperature than the pure sugar.
So for the recipe, the only compromise I could find was to bring the bulk of the sugar to the crack stage, then add in some honey, so that it was heated for a shorter amount of time and didn't burn🔥
The honey flavour is definitely there though, so I think It was a good solution to the problem👍
@@jakeslife4152 That makes sense, I've only ever really used honey as an add in for breads and other things like that and my ability at making hard candy is..well..subpar at best and non-existent at worst so I'll take your word on this since you went through the trouble of testing it and it didn't work out without the added sugar.
@@ShinKyuubi Hard candy it quite tricky to make, it took me quite a few attempts to get this recipe right😅
I've never used honey in bread before but it sounds really delicious! Do you have a favourite recipe that you use often? I'd love to give it a try!
@@jakeslife4152 For bread? I like making a classic crusty white bread loaf with some sourwood honey mixed into the dough, it gives it a really nice flavor, and I use just some cheap $1 cornmeal to dust the bottom of the cookie sheet I use since I like to make big round loafs when I make bread by hand. The honey would also go really well in a whole wheat bread recipe for making homemade honey wheat loaves. The cornmeal keeps them from sticking and gives a nice crunchy bottom and the crusty bread recipes give a nice 'thunk' sound when you tap them..it's a soft spot for me since it's the first type of bread I learned to make by hand when my grandma said if I wanted a bread machine then I should learn how to do it by hand first...and the effort you put into it DOES make a difference in taste in the end since I do own a bread machine and there is a subtle difference in taste between the two that comes from the whole process as opposed to just chucking it all in a machine and letting it do the work.
I've actually an idea tickling around in my brain and you might be able to give it a try. I've wanted to try and make a Senzu bean from the Dragon Ball series that isn't fruit flavor candy jellybean or health food puff. My idea was to make a mold of a group of lima beans using a food safe silicon mold kit and trying to make a Boston Baked Bean style candy shell in that shape around some peanut halves. Reason for the custom mold and not just a jellybean mold? Senzu are based off lima beans in shape..only problem is I've been debating on using soft crack stage or hard crack stage for the outer shell.
How would you go about putting something in the middle of these candies, like a honey candy with a pecan or berry inside of it
That sounds like an interesting idea!
If you want the filling to be perfectly trapped in the candy it might be easiest to first fill each mould with a drop of the molten candy first, then let it cool and harden a bit. After that you can place the filling on top and fill the mould up with more molten candy (use a toothpick to centre the filling if it has moved around).
I've never tried it, but I think what I have suggested should work🤞
Hi jake, this is samad from India.. lot of love from India.
Just need to ask if i don't want to add sugar and just need our honey candy so it is possible to make??
Wow! I have never seen someone make hard candy in a microwave that's so cool love the idea ps how long does it take to do? It seems like it would take a eternity to microwave haha 😂
I assume that you'd have to set the microwave at, like, half power. You should only microwave for a few seconds at a time, or the sugar might burn or turn into a tiny bubbling cauldron.
@@Silverwind87 ahh lmao yes a higher level- I still feel like that microwave will explode-
Without adding sugar can we make honey candy with pure honey only
about how long microave it.
Clever
wait a second... YOU'RE NOT BABISH!!!!
Do i NEED to wrap it with baking paper?
I don't think so, the last part is all just aesthetic I believe.
I just make it with actual honey. Look up "honey taffy" but just boil it longer.
Candyman
Using thc honey for this
omggggg genius
