- 200g caster sugar
- 350g golden syrup
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon bicarbonate of soda
- 450g chocolate (milk or dark – whichever you prefer)
- Lightly grease a 20cm square cake tin with butter
- Put the sugar, golden syrup and vinegar in a medium sized pan and heat on medium, stirring constantly
- When the sugar has completely dissolved stop stirring and heat to 150C (threading stage – when a spoonful is poured slowly onto cold water the syrup forms brittle threads)
- Remove from heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda – the mixture will expand and go cloudy
- Quickly pour into the middle of the cake tin (don’t spread even if it doesn’t fill the tin) and set aside to cool completely
- When cool, use a fine serrated knife to cut the honeycomb into whatever size chucks you like
- Cut a sheet of parchment/baking paper and leave to the side
- Break the chocolate into pieces and melt in a bowl over a pan of hot water or microwave for 10 seconds at a time until almost melted, stirring well after each 10 second blast.
- Dunk the honeycomb chunks into the melted chocolate and leave to cool on the parchment/baking paper
