I made some and they are hard and not chewy. Any suggestions on how to make them a little softer?

Hi Laura

I’ve added a small section explaining what to do a bit more to make sure the honey is caramelised. In a nutshell it needed a bit more cooking in your case as the honey had not fully set.

I cooked the mixture for 3 minutes after adding the seeds. The honey sunk to the bottom and it’s very gooey. I imagine I didn’t cook it long enough? How do we tell when the honey syrup mixture has cooked enough?

Sugar and Maple syrup combined is good

I followed the recipe exactly, after about 30 minutes I cut them into pieces. It is now 5pm and they are still soft. Is there anything I can do to make them harden?
