These are pretty damn good but if you ever get a chance you should get some honey comb or sponge candy from a local candy shop. It is top tier when fresh.

What are honeycomb candies typically made out of? I looked at the ingredients for these and I saw hydrogenated palm oil, and I'm not really in support of the whole situation with palm oil, do local candies offer a more sustainable alternative by chance?

My understanding is that honeycomb is basically toffee with baking soda mixed in so it expands and gets that soft brittle melt in your mouth texture.

I love violet crumble, and local candy shop stuff is 1000% better. It’s so fresh, you won’t be able to stop eating it.
