Christmas Honeycomb
This is so easy to make and irresistible :-( not good when you're on a diet which is why it got put in bags pretty damn quick!!
Ingredients
10 tablespoons white sugar
4 tablespoons golden syrup
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
(Some recipes have vinegar in but this is easier and nicer)
Christmas colour sprinkles, edible glitter etc
Chocolate - good quality milk or plain I use half and half as it's a better taste. I think white chocolate would be too sweet but that is my personal opinion.
Remember you have to work fast and have a sink of hot soapy water for the pan to go in asap or it's hard to get off the pan.
So put the sugar and syrup in a pan and melt together then boil for about 4 mins till it goes a dark golden colour.
Here is the be quick part
Take pan from the heat and add bicarbonate and whisk fast then pour onto the tray and tilt round to get it to spread.
DO NOT TRY TO SPREAD IT WITH A KNIFE, SPATULA ETC - IT WILL GO WEIRD
(Get the pan into the water to clean it now)
When cool and hard, melt chocolate in a pan over hot water or in microwave. Pour over the honeycomb and while still melted sprinkle with decorations.
When the chocolate has set, break into pieces and put into bags, un-bagged it should keep for a few days in a cool dry place in an airtight container, if you can resist it that is!!
enjoy xx
