Learn how to make homemade honeycomb with golden syrup that is crunchy, sweet, and utterly delicious. This easy recipe only requires a few ingredients and can be made in no time. Perfect as a standalone treat or as an add-on to desserts like ice cream or chocolate mousse.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
Directions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, golden syrup, and water.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture come to a boil.
- Allow the mixture to boil for about 5-6 minutes or until it reaches a deep golden color.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the baking soda. Be careful as it will cause the mixture to foam up rapidly.
- Quickly stir the mixture until the baking soda is fully incorporated. It will become frothy and bubbly.
- Pour the foamy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not spread it out as it will naturally spread on its own.
- Let the honeycomb cool and harden at room temperature for about 1-2 hours.
- Once completely cooled and hardened, break the honeycomb into small pieces and store in an airtight container.
