corn syrup

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: glucose syrup

Honey provides natural sweetness with a distinct taste.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

vanilla extract

🥗Healthier: vanilla bean

💰Cheaper: imitation vanilla

Vanilla bean offers a richer flavor.

Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.

Cook the mixture without stirring until it reaches the hard crack stage (300°F/149°C).

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the milk, baking soda, and vanilla extract.

Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Allow the candy to cool for a few minutes until it is set but still pliable.

Cut the candy into squares or desired shapes while still warm.

Let the pieces cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
