Personally, I have never really though about honeycomb as something I could ever make, it never really crossed my mind. However, when I saw 2 people on my Facebook say that they had made honeycomb I thought I would give it a go to see how it went.
When I found the recipe on Google I was really surprised at how easy is sounded, as I hadn't expected it to be that hard.
The recipe I found only needed golden syrup, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and some water to test when it was ready. I made sure I had all of this and then set about making my honeycomb. I will post a link at the bottom of this post in case you want to try it yourself.
In the recipe it says you need a greased 10cm square tin and I was thinking... err no thanks I think I will line it with greaseproof paper, this could get messy! You start off by making a syrup and then take it off the heat and add bicarbonate of soda, which makes the mixture expand A LOT. Now luckily I had plenty of excess paper sticking out of the tray, as the mixture continued to expand when I poured it in. Note to self: next time use a bigger tin.
Now this is the end product, it tasted scrumdiddles!
After a day or 2 they start to go a bit sticky, and therefore a bit difficult to eat so next time I am going to cover them in chocolate so we can have our very own crunchy bars!! Yummy!
I have been thinking for a while about starting a cookery channel on YouTube as I do quite a lot of cooking at home but I'm not sure yet, and besides I would need to get a video camera first. Let me know what you think. Either in the comment section or if you know me... on Facebook or something.
