A simple old-fashioned sweet treat without any refined sugars.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw, unfiltered honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp. coconut butter
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp. baking soda
  • pinch roughly ground sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
Instructions
  1. Heat a medium saucepan with the honey, coconut butter, and vinegar stirred together.
  2. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  3. Boil until a candy thermometer inserted reaches "hard crack" temperature (300 - 310 F/ 149 - 154 C) or until a small amount hardens when dropped into cold water.
  4. Remove from heat.
  5. Stir in the vanilla, baking soda, and salt. (the baking soda will cause it to bubble up a little)
  6. Pour immediately into molds or onto a wax paper lined dish. You can add chopped nuts and unsweetened coconut flakes at this point as well.
  7. When cooled completely the candy will be hard, but will soften some in warmer temps.
  8. Store in a sealable baggie or container in a cool place.
