Make Honeycomb in Cadbury Crunchie

Cadbury Crunchie bars from the UK, or Violet Crumble bars from Australia, have a crunchy "honeycomb" material in them that is very tasty. You can make your own "Crunchie" using this recipe. Then pour chocolate on top after it has set. Just make sure it has cooled and set properly before applying the chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 tbs of Golden Syrup and Honey (or syrup)
  • 2 teaspoons of water
  • 1 tablespoon Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
  • Cadbury cooking chocolate or choc chips
  • greased dish

Steps

  1. Put sugar, golden syrup and honey into the saucepan!
  2. Melt over medium heat, bring them to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently!
  3. Once the mixture is caramelised (it should turn brown), remove it from the heat!
  4. Mix water and sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda) and stir very quickly.
  5. Watch it turn into a huge orange crunchy foam.
  6. Pour it out into a greased dish and wait for it to cool.
  7. Eat quickly and Enjoy. This treat should be eaten within a day, because natural moisture in the air will make it melt and turn sticky. Put in a sealed container to keep the moisture out if it to help keep longer and refrigeration in sealed container can help make it crisper and less sticky.
  8. Finished.

Tips

  • The purpose of the greased dish is so the foam won't stick to the dish. Use a glass or ceramic dish (one that can take the heat without cracking). Non-stick silicon mats and parchment paper are also effective if you don't want to grease a dish.
  • Covering the pieces entirely in chocolate keeps the honeycomb from melting, and allows you to enjoy it over time, rather than eating all at once.
  • Try adding bits of honeycomb to vanilla ice cream, or dip them in melted milk chocolate to make a treat similar to the Cadbury's version.
  • Golden syrup is eaten mostly in the U.K. and Australia, but Americans and Canadians might be able to find it in specialty grocery stores or very big supermarkets. It should be in the baking aisle. Golden syrup is a cousin of treacle and molasses. Try substituting with light corn syrup if you cannot get golden syrup.
  • Baking soda sure is fun, isn't it? This reaction is similar to the one that makes a "volcano" with vinegar and baking soda.
  • This recipe is about the same as toffee, only with bubbles (because of the baking soda)

Warnings

  • Gloves for hot saucepan and dishes.

Things You'll Need
