Ingredients

• 200g Caster Sugar
• 7g Sugar and Crumbs Flavour Shot ( Flavour of your choice )
• 4 Tbsp Golden Syrup
• 1 Tbsp Bicarbonate of Soda
• 250g Melt and Pour Milk or Dark Chocolate

Method:

• Honeycomb – To start butter a large baking dish approx 9×6 inches and set aside. Have the Bicarbonate measured and out next to the dish.
• Next add the sugar, flavour shot and syrup to a heavy based pan and set over a medium heat, stir with a spatula to make sure the sugar dissolves at the same rate. Keep stirring till it reaches a golden caramel colour, remove from the heat and immediately add in the bicarbonate and stir with a wooden spoon fast, it will bubble and rise.
• Pour the mixture into the baking tin and leave to set for a minimum of 1 hour but may take upto 1 hour 30 mins.
• Once set it should be easy to remove from the baking tray in one solid piece.
• Melt the melt and pour chocolate by heating 2/3 of the chocolate in short 30 sec bursts in the microwave and stirring in between, once melted add the remaining 1/3 and stir in until completly melted.
• Chop up the Honeycomb into desired pieces and dip them into the chocolate to cover fully using a fork. Place on a wire rack to dry.

To store the Honeycomb for freshness they must be stored in an airtight container or in airtight packaging if gifting. Can be enjoyed for upto 2 weeks if stored correctly. Do not put it into the fridge as moisture can affect the honeycombs texture.
