Description
This quick and easy 3-ingredient honeycomb is crunchy, sweet, and dipped in rich dark chocolate for extra indulgence. A simple yet delightful treat that’s perfect for snacking or gifting.
Ingredients
300 g (2 ¼ cups) caster sugar
150 g (½ cup) honey or golden syrup
3 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
50 g (1 ¾ oz) dark chocolate, melted (for dipping)
Instructions
- Line a 22 cm square baking tin with greaseproof non-stick baking paper.
- In a saucepan with high sides, combine the caster sugar and honey or golden syrup. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat and continue whisking until the mixture reaches 140°C (use a thermometer for accuracy).
- Quickly whisk the bicarbonate of soda into the mixture. It will bubble up. Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared tin, making sure not to touch or move it after it’s in the tin.
- Let the honeycomb cool completely in the tin to set its crunchy texture.
- Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between intervals, until smooth.
- Once the honeycomb has cooled, break it into chunks and dip each piece into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped honeycomb on a cooling rack and let the chocolate set.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, store the honeycomb in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt to the honeycomb mixture.
Try milk or white chocolate for a sweeter taste.
Add chopped nuts like almonds or hazelnuts over the honeycomb before it sets for a crunch boost.
