Chocolate honeycomb is one of the most favored of current trending meals on earth. It is easy, it is quick, it tastes delicious. It’s enjoyed by millions every day. Chocolate honeycomb is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They’re nice and they look wonderful.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook chocolate honeycomb using 5 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Chocolate honeycomb:
Get 100 g caster sugar
Make ready 4 tbsp golden syrup, honey or maple syrup
Prepare 1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Prepare 100 g dark chocolate
Prepare Baking tray, lined with parchment/baking paper
Instructions to make Chocolate honeycomb:
Weigh the caster sugar and syrup/honey into a pan and mix together.
Set over a medium heat. Don't stir, just gently melt the two together and keep a beady eye on what's taking place in your pan - it shouldn't burn or turn too dark.
Once melted, which should take around three minutes, you're ready to add the bicarb. (If you're that way inclined, use a sugar thermometer to check you've reached 160 degrees or - fnarrr - somewhere around the hard crack area.)
Off the heat, mix in the bicarb with a wooden spoon. It will bubble and rise up like lava - this is what gives honeycomb its bubbly, aerated texture - so work fast, and pour immediately into a small, baking paper-lined tray.
Leave the honeycomb to cool, which takes around half an hour (depending on the temperature of your room). Once cool, bash it up into shards.
Melt the chocolate, either in a double pan or in the microwave for around 90 seconds, in 30 second bursts.
Dip the pieces of honeycomb into the melted chocolate - this quantity is just enough to half coat each piece, so use 200g if you want to fully coat yours - and place back on baking paper to set.
Store in an airtight container (I like Weck jars as they are both functional and look good). Whatever you do, keep it away from moisture. Add a little festive sparkle with a glittery gold ribbon to match the golden treats within.
