Homemade Honeycomb Recipes

HONEYCOMB RECIPE

Steps:

• Grease a slice tin and line with baking paper.
• Place all ingredients apart from the bicarb soda into a medium sized saucepan.
• Stir over very low heat until sugar dissolves.
• If you have a candy thermometer, place it in the mixture.
• Increase heat slightly to low or low-medium until mixture boils. It should boil at a medium pace. Decrease temperature if it starts boiling too fast.
• Boil, stirring from time to time, until the mixture reaches 155 degrees celsius (310 degrees fahrenheit) OR - if you don't have a thermometer - until it reaches a rich golden colour. The process should take about 10 minutes, but will depend on your stovetop and various factors.
• Remove from heat and sprinkle the bicarb soda over the top of the mixture. Stir gently until the mixture starts to froth and continue stirring gently until all of the mixture is frothy. Don't stir too quickly or for too long or the mixture will lose its frothiness.
• Pour into slice tin and allow to cool.
• Once cool, break into pieces. Drizzle or dip in chocolate to serve.

HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Butter a 20cm square tin. Stir the caster sugar and golden syrup together in a deep saucepan over a gentle heat until the sugar has melted. Try not to let the mixture bubble until the sugar grains have disappeared.
• Once completely melted, turn up the heat a little and simmer until you have an amber coloured caramel (this won't take long), then as quickly as you can, turn off the heat, tip in the bicarbonate of soda and beat in with a wooden spoon until it has all disappeared and the mixture is foaming. Scrape into the tin immediately - be careful, the mixture will be very hot.
• The mixture will continue bubbling in the tin, simply leave it and in about 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins the honeycomb will be hard and ready to crumble or snap into chunks.

HOMEMADE HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Butter the base and sides of a 20cm non-stick square cake tin. (If your tin isn't non-stick, butter, then line with baking parchment).
• Melt the sugar and golden syrup in a deep saucepan over a low heat, stirring. Don't let it bubble until the sugar has dissolved completely.
• Once melted, turn up the heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until you have an amber-coloured caramel (this won't take long, but if you have a thermometer, it needs to reach 150C, so it doesn't get sticky when stored). As quickly as you can, remove from the heat, add the bicarb and beat with a wooden spoon until it's all absorbed and the mixture is foaming. Immediately scrape into the tin, but be careful, as the mixture will be very hot.
• Leave to cool for 1-1½ hrs until the honeycomb is hard - it will continue bubbling in the tin as it cools. Break into chunks before packaging.
