Best 9 Perfect Honeycomb Recipes

HONEYCOMB RECIPE

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Before you begin, be sure to measure out your baking soda and set it aside, you will need to have it ready once your honeycomb candy comes to the correct temperature.
• Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a boil (this will take some time, don't turn up the heat above medium to speed up the process or you could ruin your candy).
• Once mixture begins to boil, attach your candy thermometer (make sure the tip of the thermometer is not touching the bottom of the pan) and don't stir any longer.
• Without stirring, cook to 300°F (149°C). Once mixture reaches temperature (it will still be clear at this point, it is supposed to be), immediately remove from heat and stir in your baking soda (heads-up! It's going to bubble up quite a bit).
• The mixture will immediately begin to foam, stir until baking soda is completely combined and the color turns golden, but don't over-stir or you'll end up deflating your candy and won't have any holes.
• Once foaming stops and baking soda is dissolved into the mixture, spread into prepared pan. Cool at least 1 hour before breaking into pieces (you may be able to use your hands, or whack it with a knife or use a mallet to tap a knife into the honeycomb to break).
• If desired, dip or drizzle cooled broken honeycomb pieces with melted chocolate.

HONEYCOMB RECIPE

Steps:

• Grease a slice tin and line with baking paper.
• Place all ingredients apart from the bicarb soda into a medium sized saucepan.
• Stir over very low heat until sugar dissolves.
• If you have a candy thermometer, place it in the mixture.
• Increase heat slightly to low or low-medium until mixture boils. It should boil at a medium pace. Decrease temperature if it starts boiling too fast.
• Boil, stirring from time to time, until the mixture reaches 155 degrees celsius (310 degrees fahrenheit) OR - if you don't have a thermometer - until it reaches a rich golden colour. The process should take about 10 minutes, but will depend on your stovetop and various factors.
• Remove from heat and sprinkle the bicarb soda over the top of the mixture. Stir gently until the mixture starts to froth and continue stirring gently until all of the mixture is frothy. Don't stir too quickly or for too long or the mixture will lose its frothiness.
• Pour into slice tin and allow to cool.
• Once cool, break into pieces. Drizzle or dip in chocolate to serve.

HONEYCOMB CANDY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, gently combine the sugar and water then add the honey and corn syrup. Boil until amber colored and the sugar looks like caramel. Add the baking soda, and with a wooden spoon, stir in gently. It will foam up a lot. Pour the mixture onto a silpat or a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan, and let cool. Break into pieces.

HONEYCOMB TOFFEE

Steps:

• Line a baking dish with parchment paper, measure out baking soda in a small bowl, and have a heat-proof spatula ready before starting.
• Whisk sugar, corn syrup, honey, and water together in a saucepan with a candy thermometer attached. Heat over medium heat until mixture is thinner but still cloudy. Let bubble until mixture is clear and thermometer registers 300 degrees F (149 degrees C).
• Remove from heat. Whisk in baking soda until just incorporated. Switch to a spatula and very carefully pour into the lined dish. Do not spread it out with your spatula or compress mixture at all, or the bubbles will deflate. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
• Remove candy from the pan by lifting out the parchment paper. Rap against the counter and use your fingers to break it into individual pieces.

HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Line a 8in. square baking pan with lightly oiled foil. Half fill the sink with cold water and have ready a whisk and the baking soda.
• Place the sugar, syrup, cream of tartar, and vinegar into a medium-size, solid-based saucepan. Add 5 tablespoons water and set the saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then bring the mixture to a boil. Continue to cook until the mixture turns amber-colored and reaches "hard crack" stage, or 300°F (154°C) on a candy thermometer.
• As soon as the caramel reaches the right temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat and plunge into the sink of cold water to speed up the cooling process. Working quickly, pour the baking soda into the caramel and whisk to combine evenly; the mixture will foam up like a mini volcano. Pour into the prepared pan in an even layer and let cool.
• Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Turn the honeycomb out of the pan, peel off the foil, and break into chunks. Half dip each piece into the melted chocolate. Let harden before packaging.

HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Butter a 20cm square tin. Stir the caster sugar and golden syrup together in a deep saucepan over a gentle heat until the sugar has melted. Try not to let the mixture bubble until the sugar grains have disappeared.
• Once completely melted, turn up the heat a little and simmer until you have an amber coloured caramel (this won't take long), then as quickly as you can, turn off the heat, tip in the bicarbonate of soda and beat in with a wooden spoon until it has all disappeared and the mixture is foaming. Scrape into the tin immediately - be careful, the mixture will be very hot.
• The mixture will continue bubbling in the tin, simply leave it and in about 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins the honeycomb will be hard and ready to crumble or snap into chunks.

PERFECT HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Grease a square cake tin
• Heat the caster sugar and golden syrup together in a large sauce pan until boiling. Simmer on a low heat for 5-10 minutes until dropping the syrup into cold water produces a brittle toffee. Make sure you don't cook it on too hot a heat so that it doesn't burn
• Remove the sauce pan from the heat and add the bicarbonate of soda. Stir it in immediately, as the honeycomb will expand immediately, and then pour into the cake tin as soon as the bicarbonate of soda is mixed in. Leave to cool completely and don't be tempted to smooth the top - you will flatten the mixture
• When cooled, break the honeycomb into bite sized chunks. You can dip in melted chocolate and leave to set before eating to create chocolate coated honeycomb
