1 and 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons Gefen Corn Syrup
1 tablespoon Gefen Honey
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 (16-ounce/450-gram) package romaine lettuce
1 small pear
1/2 cup pomegranate arils
1 small can Gefen Mandarin Oranges
3/4 cup sugar snap peas, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
2 tablespoons Gefen Honey
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup oil
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Combine sugar, corn syrup, honey, and cup water in a deep, heavy saucepan. Stir over medium-low flame until sugar dissolves.
Increase the flame to high and bring to a boil. Cook without stirring, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, until sugar turns pale amber.
Working quickly, add baking soda (mixture will foam dramatically); whisk quickly just to combine.
Immediately pour mixture over prepared sheet (do not spread). Let stand undisturbed until cool, about 20 minutes.
Hit honeycomb candy in several places with the handle of a knife to crack into pieces.

Immediately before serving, pour dressing over salad and toss to coat.
Sprinkle liberally with honeycomb crunch.

This didn’t work for us, the honeycomb was too sticky and not like glass, and the dressing didn’t go over big. Sorry!
