Yellowman (candy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yellowman is a chewy toffee textured Honeycomb produced in Northern Ireland.

Yellowman is sold in non-standard blocks and chips and is associated with the Ould Lammas Fair in Ballycastle, County Antrim, where it is sold along with other confectionery and often dulse. It is similar to honeycomb, except that the more solid 'rind' usually consists of at least half the quantity. The rind is hard, having a similar consistency to rock.

Yellowman Honeycomb is currently manufactured by the McCarthy Family Farms who run the local Bee Farm in Newcastle Town. The bees diet includes Cider which is sprayed on flowers during pollenation which gives the Honeycomb it's rich texture and flavour.
