The perfect sweet treat for gifting and for indulging

Ingredients

200 grams caster sugar
5 tbsp golden syrup
2tsp bicarbonate of soda

Method

Prepare a bowl with greaseproof paper that has been scrunched up and flattened back out, ready for honeycomb mixture to be added
Combine caster sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan and place over a gentle heat until the sugar has melted
Heat it very slowly and only agitate it by swirling the pan to prevent it from burning and making sure all the crystals fully dissolve
Once completely dissolved, turn up the heat slightly and allow mixture to come up to a simmer, watching for it to turn a golden/amber colour, this should only take a few minutes
At this point you need to work very quickly, adding the bicarbonate of soda and whisking it into the mixture, being very careful as the mixture will bubble and grow rapidly once combined
Immediately pour mixture into prepared bowl and allow to rest until fully hardened, approx. an hour
You can then break the honeycomb up and coat in melted chocolate or enjoy as is
Wrap individual pieces in greaseproof, perfect for gifting or keep in a glass jar – it should keep for up to 3 days like this
