  • Honeycomb goes by many names around the world - cinder toffee, hokey pokey, yellowman, sea foam, puff candy, sponge candy and sponge toffee are just a few of them. Whatever you call it, it's very simple to make. You can also make something like a Crunchie bar by coating chunks or bars of honeycomb / cinder toffee in chocolate.

    Nice work!! As a former pastry chef, I can confirm this is one easy, and rewarding, recipe!
    An easier way to dip the pieces in chocolate would be to drop them in the chocolate, use a fork to get them completely covered, then fish them out with the fork and set them on a sheet of parchment paper.
    Place it in the fridge until completely set, then enjoy. Good luck resisting the urge NOT to share!

    I made this. I have no clue what "golden syrup" is when it visits the States so, subbed honey. Honey subs for corn syrup to help prevent crystals. I also drizzled the chunks with chocolate and not dipped. My wife loved it. Thanks for the video. Anything that makes my wife smile is a Good Thing.

    If you lightly smear the measuring vehicle, spoon, cup, or whatever, when measuring out honey or syrup, it just slides out and that's it. Also, making Golden Syrup is dead easy. Made this when growing up in London and Essex, after rationing finished, and sometimes during that period when people shared their goodies to make something for a special occasion.

    Did it 3 times 3rd used 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and still tasted funny.
