Because they’re made with Domino or C&H Honey Granules, a blend of pure cane sugar and honey, they’re very easy to prepare. Honey granules are free-flowing crystals that easily add a sweet honey flavor to many foods and beverages. Made without artificial colors or flavors, they come in 10-oz. flip-top canisters that allow for simple sprinkling or measuring for recipes, so you can enjoy a taste of honey with less mess. They’re also good for dissolving into both hot and cold beverages, such as teas and coffees, and for blended beverages, such as smoothies and shakes. They add a distinct sweet honey flavor over fruit or sprinkled as a topping, and because they’re in crystal form, they stay neat and sticky-free in the cupboard. Whether for sweet baked desserts, savory barbecue sauces, dry rubs or to create sauces and dressings, honey granules have a wide range of possi- ble uses and easily substitute for white granulated sugar in recipes and often for fluid honey with this conversion: 1 teaspoon liquid honey = 1 1⁄2 teaspoons honey granules. LEARN MORE For more recipes and additional information, visit www.dominosugar. com/honeygranules or www.chsugar. com/honeygranules. Say it in living color!
