Tips

Do not boil the mixture while heating with honey and sugar, it should thicken gradually.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, test by pouring some mixture into iced cold water; it should be malleable and pick up in one piece.
Grease hands and tools with oil to prevent sticking when cutting or rolling.
To store, wrap each piece in parchment paper or gently coat in arrowroot powder or oil to prevent sticking.
