2. Stirring constantly, cook for 1-2 minutes until caramel color.

3. Add the butter and wait for it to melt.

4. Set aside to cool.

Method of preparation:

How to make honeycomb:

2. Bring to a temperature of 160 degrees (if without a thermometer, when the bubbles have calmed down a bit and the color is deep caramel).

3. Remove from heat, immediately add baking soda.

4. Stir vigorously with a silicone spatula until smooth (up to 30 seconds to prevent it from settling).
