A Winter Beehive Candy Board
Check out this stunning visual that’ll get your creativity flowing. Isn’t it just beautiful?
Ingredients for the Winter Candy Board
Here’s what you’ll need to gather to create your very own candy board:
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- Beeswax (for coating)
- Your favorite edible decorations (think fruits, nuts, or dried flowers)
Instructions for Making Your Candy Board
Now that we’ve got our ingredients, let’s walk through the steps to create this sweet masterpiece:
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and apple cider vinegar. Heat it over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, stop stirring and let it come to a boil. Use a candy thermometer and continue boiling until the temperature reaches 240°F (soft ball stage).
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. This will cause your mixture to foam up, so be careful!
- Pour the mixture into a greased pan and let it cool completely. Once it’s set, you can break it into whatever shapes you like.
- Now, take your beeswax and lightly coat your candy pieces. This will help to keep them fresh and give a little shine to your board.
- Finally, arrange your candy on a board and add the edible decorations for that extra flair. You can be as creative as you want here!
And there you have it, your very own Winter Beehive Candy Board! Not only is it a treat for the bees, but it also adds a beautiful touch to your winter decor. Enjoy making this with family and friends, and remember, sharing is caring. Happy beekeeping!
