Line an 8" by 8" (20cm by 20cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, salt, vanilla extract, water, and honey. Mix well to combine.

Cook over medium heat for 7-8 minutes without agitating the mixture. Initially, it will become foamy with very small bubbles. Towards the end of cooking, the mixture will become clear with a light amber color, and large clear bubbles will appear on the surface.

Remove the saucepan from the heat, add baking soda, and whisk to combine. The mixture will bubble and expand a lot. Keep mixing until it turns an amber color and the active bubbling almost subsides.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Once the mixture is in the pan, don’t touch it, and don’t tap the pan on a flat surface trying to even the surface out; you will burst bubbles inside the mixture. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes or until the mixture completely sets.

Remove from the baking pan, break into small pieces and serve.
