Honey-nut roses
It looked enchanting, nothing like anything he had seen in the typically cold mountains. The treat resembled a flowering rose, possibly the thorny, but fragrant one, they often saw during the walks to the high lake. The bud inside had some sort of seeds, which he could not identify. Not flax... flax was much darker. When smelled, the flower reminded him of autumn evenings, the fragrance of hazelnuts and honey.
Honey-nut rose is a treat prepared by the loved ones for the loved ones. Sometimes for the occassion of the summer solstice festival, sometimes without any special occassion, for the simple act of endulgment.

Ingredients
Variations
Honey-nut roses are very popular in summer but have a great number of varieties, depending on the accessibility of ingredients, predominantly flowers and honey. While all fragrant flower petals work, poppy petals are extremely popular for their vivid colours combined with the ease of attaching several layers on a single ball. Similarly, honey is substituted with other sweet and thick substances, e.g., barley malt syrup, grape juice syrup or crushed dried fruit, e.g., plums.
What a fantastic idea. I love the idea of making edible sweet flowers - so to speak - and your design looks really great.
Thank you! Initially it was supposed to be a way of encapsulating the candy to make them more appealing and less messy to handle. The idea evolved when one of the fresh petals didn't wrap around. They are also super easy to make. Highly recommend experimenting with different ratios. high viscosity of the honey/syrup/molasses helps a lot!.
Ah, then this shape was more or less a coincidence. Sometimes life really does produce the best ideas. And I really must try the recipe without the petals, we have enough honey and nuts anyway.
