I'm remembering molasses puff being similar but with some vinegar. Anyone know about that? I can't wait to try this - I love making candy but don't like to use a candy thermometer.

Just add peanuts & you have peanut brittle!

Confidence to make some hokey pokey - I loved crunchie as a child, the chocolate covered bar of honeycomb was a constant delight!

Great minds think alike !
Can't help but smile because I've posted around the same time hokey pokey too ;)
I'm so jealous that you could use it for ice cream afterward (too cold for now here...)

I've attempted this three times. Every time it's been slightly less burnt than the last but still really bitter. One of the times it was just toffee.

I will try again!

Who knew it was that easy? I've wanted to make this for two years and just haven't done it. Maybe now that I know how darn easy it really is, I'll try it!

Thank you all!

Mrs D - it is supposed to get crisp as it cools down, at least mine did, not sure why yours didn't. I will have to do some more experimenting now!

Penny Wolf - thank you for the info on the golden syrup, good to know!

This is wonderful! My Mother always put peanuts in it and we called it peanut brittle.

Golden syrup in USA is made by a company called King's or Bob White.
These can be ordered from Carriage House if not in your store.

I made this today and it tasted great but it was really chewy...was it supposed to be crisp? I was wondering if I cooked it long enough. Love the flavor of the golden syrup. I'd never bought it before. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

mmmm that takes me back to my childhood - buying honeycomb from the newsagents before getting the bus home from school. I'm surprised I have any teeth now, I loved it so much. I didn't know it was that easy to make though. I'm tempted to try it but have grown quite fond of my enduring teeth!

Thank you for your comments!

Anonymous - you can use an oiled baking sheet, I haven't tried parchment paper. It might be ok if it's the non-stick kind.
You could try subbing the golden syrup with corn syrup, it's quite similar. Golden syrup can be found over there, look for it in larger supermarkets or an English shop, it's made by Tate & Lyle. Good luck with

I used to love this as a child.Could I use parchment paper instead of the silicone mat and what is golden syrup? I live in the US. Thanks.

Thanks all!!

Su-yin - definitely make some honecomb ice cream, I just did!

Jacqueline - I got my Silpat in the US, but I have seen it in good cook shops here. You can also use ordinary silicone mats which they sell everywhere now. They are brilliant for meringues.

Oooh Paul would love this!

That is very tempting honeycomb! Oh and where did you get your silpat liner? Was it in the uk?

That is the best looking honeycomb! Maria x
