When I first found this recipe for honeycomb toffee I imagined sweet hot and sticky summer afternoons.
Unfortunately this summer has proved to be one big tease, I don’t even want to get into it.
I decided I didn’t need a sunny day to make this candy; this is one of the coolest recipes I’ve ever made, so easy and so much fun.

Here’s what you need;

• 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons golden syrup
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Here’s what you do;

1. Put the sugar and golden syrup into a large saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has melted.
2. Turn up the heat a little and let the mixture boil for a couple of minutes until it just starts to turn a deep golden colour.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and quickly mix in the bicarbonate of soda – the mixture will foam up – and then pour it onto an oiled baking tray or a parchment-lined tray.
4. Leave to cool and then break up as needed.
