Homemade: Bit O’Honey

Ever since my father-in-law began bee keeping at their farm 3 years ago (and producing honey by the gallons), Ken’s family has been trying new recipes like crazy to find ways to incorporate their honey surplus. Over Easter, Ken’s Grandma Ruth made a homemade batch of Bit O’Honey candies and brought them to the farm for everyone to try. They were so delicious, chewy like taffy, creamy and sweet (and relatively sinless as sweets go!) Lucky for us Grandma Ruth was willing to share her recipe. Hope you enjoy!
