The Rocky Road is the perfect sweet treat to celebrate the holiday season.
Share these treats with your family and friends. This is a simple recipe open
to all kinds of customizations. Just set the ingredients according to your

 8. Candied Walnuts

A sweet and nutty candy to munch on in your leisure time. In spite of being
made with walnuts, I am pretty sure that this does not fall into the category
of a healthy recipe. But who cares? This is a great dish for your cheat days
and the holiday seasons. Just grab a bowl of this and turn on your favorite
show or movie and enjoy your time. It is also quick and easy to make with

Call it honeycomb brittle or honeycomb toffee or sponge toffee or cinder

toffee or hokey pokey, this airy and bubbly candy is a sure hit. It has a
texture similar to the Indian “Ghevar,” but it is harder than that. The baking
soda that is incorporated into it, in the end, is what gives this brittle the
required texture.
Ingredients
Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons
Sugar: 2 cups
Honey: ½ cup
Water: ½ cup
 Baking Soda: 1 tablespoon

the baking tray.

You can also coat these pieces in melted chocolate to make it even
yummier.
