Chocolate Dipped Honeycomb Recipes

CHOCOLATE HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Butter a 20cm square tin. Mix the sugar and golden syrup in a deep saucepan over a gentle heat until the sugar has melted. Try not to let the mixture bubble until the sugar has completely dissolved.
• Turn up the heat a little and simmer until you have an amber coloured caramel (this won't take long). To test if it's ready, turn off the heat and drop a little into a glass of very cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it's ready. If not, turn the heat back on and cook a little more. Then, as quickly as you can, turn off the heat, tip in the bicarb and beat with a wooden spoon until it's disappeared and the mixture is foaming. Scrape into the tin immediately - be careful, the mixture will be very hot.
• Leave the honeycomb in the tin for 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins until hard (it will continue to bubble).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water.
• Snap the honeycomb into chunks and dip half of each piece into the chocolate. Drizzle with any remaining chocolate and a pinch of sea salt, if you like. Leave to set in the fridge for 1 hr.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray . 8x8 pan or a 13x9 pan.
• Combine the sugar, corn syrup, honey, and water in a large saucepan. Stir the ingredients together until the sugar is completely moistened. Using a wet pastry brush, wipe the sides of the saucepan to remove any stray sugar crystals.
• Insert a candy thermometer in the saucepan and cook the mixture over medium heat, without stirring, until the candy reaches 300 F. Do not rush the boiling by using high heat.
• Once the candy is at the proper temperature, remove it from the heat and add the baking soda all at once. Immediately, quickly whisk the candy to incorporate the baking soda, and be careful as it will foam up a great deal.
• As soon as the baking soda is incorporated, quickly and carefully pour the candy into the prepared baking pan.
• Allow it to cool and harden completely, then break it into small pieces.
• Combine the chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 seconds spans, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.
• Using two forks, dip the individual pieces in the melted chocolate so that they are completely covered and place them back on the baking sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining honeycomb and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
• Enjoy!
