Grilyage candies with honey
6 servings
50 minutes
Honey grilazh candies are a refined treat that combines a crunchy nut flavor with the delicate sweetness of honey. This dessert resembles traditional grilazh but gains special depth from the honey syrup, which adds natural sweetness and a light caramelized note. Nuts coated in chocolate create a harmonious balance between the rich cocoa flavor and the crunchy textural contrast. These candies can be served as an elegant dessert with tea or used as a sophisticated gift conveying warmth and care. Their preparation requires patience, but the result is always delightful — each candy becomes a small masterpiece filled with love and flavor.

Let it cool for a bit. Send it to the fridge for 1.5–2 hours until fully set. Then you can shape the candies using a spoon or with your hands (wet or gloved). My younger brother shaped the candies to contribute to making candies for mom.
