Chocolate-Dipped Honeycomb
1 March 2023
You know that moment when you bite into a Crunchie bar as a child, look inside and ask yourself ‘what kind of sorcery is this?’ I learned very quickly that Crunchie was my husband’s favourite chocolate bar – and as easy as it is to buy it from the shop, it’s even easier to make, with no sorcery required. It’s just honeycomb dipped in chocolate.

Ingredients
vegetable oil - for greasing
200g golden caster sugar
100ml runny honey
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
100g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) - melted
Instructions
1Line and grease a deep rectangular brownie tin right to the top so that the paper comes at least 3cm over the rim, as the honeycomb rises. Make sure the paper is greased liberally as this will help you remove the honeycomb once it has set
2 Put the sugar and honey in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat until the sugar turns an amber colour. Make sure the sugar has all dissolved
3 Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda
4 Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, and leave it to set for about 30 minutes
5 Once the honeycomb has cooled, break it into uneven shards and dip the end of the honeycomb into the melted milk chocolate.
