Homemade honeycomb

Cooking Vegetarian Homemade honeycomb

Oh-so delectable, this lip-smacking dessert is the perfect finish to a springtime feast.

  1. Grease and line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Combine sugar, honey, water and golden syrup in a medium saucepan. Place over low heat and cook, stirring, occasionally brushing down side of the pan and spoon with a pastry brush dipped in water to remove any sugar crystals, for 5-7 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Cook, without stirring, for 5-7 minutes or until the syrup reaches crack stage (154°C) on a sugar thermometer. Remove from heat and set aside for bubbles to subside.
  3. Add the bicarbonate of soda and quickly stir with a wooden spoon until combined (mixture will bubble and foam). Pour onto the tray and set aside to cool completely.
  4. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally with a metal spoon until chocolate melts and is smooth. Transfer to a small plastic bag. Use scissors to snip off a corner of the bag.
  5. Turn the honeycomb onto a clean surface. Break into large pieces. Drizzle chocolate over honeycomb pieces and put aside to set. Store in an airtight container.
