- Yield: 4 Servings 1x
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup (200 g) superfine caster sugar
- 1/2 cup (165 g) golden syrup or light corn syrup
- 2 Tbsp (40 ml) water
- 150 g vegan dark chocolate
- pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, measure out the baking soda. Set aside.
- Line a small baking tray with either baking parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large saucepan (larger than you think you need) place the sugar, golden syrup, and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil, give it a quick stir at the start but then try to leave it to bubble without stirring.
- Using a probe thermometer, bring the temperature of the sugar mixture to 302ºF (150ºC). As soon as it reaches that temperature, turn off the heat and vigorously whisk in the baking soda. Be careful – it’s very hot and will expand up to 3x its size. Quickly pour the foaming mixture into the prepared baking tin.
- Leave the tin to cool completely for a minimum of 1 hour.
- Once fully cooled, use the back of a spoon to break the honeycomb into chunks. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler.
- Dip each piece of honeycomb in the chocolate and set back on the baking parchment or silicone baking mat. Allow cooling fully before serving.
Notes
Here’s a step by step guide to making your own honeycomb candy from home. As a heads-up, making any kind of caramel is super dangerous since sugar gets super hot when you melt it. Although this is a fun, easy recipe, never dip your fingers in molten sugar and don’t let kids make this recipe unsupervised.
