Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8 inch / 20cm cake pan (square or round then line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium pot add the sugar and corn syrup and heat over low/medium heat stirring until the sugar dissolves, stop stirring and bring the mixture to a boil, insert a candy thermometer, do not stir, if necessary brush the sides of the pot with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to remove sugar crystals (I didn't find this necessary).
- When the temperature reaches 280F (138C) (this will take a bit of time so do not increase the temperature), remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in the baking soda (mixture will bubble, spit and increase in volume).
- Pour the mixture quickly into the prepared pan, do not spread (bubbles could disappear). Let cool approximately 2 hours, then dip in chocolate if desired. Enjoy!
TO MAKE HONEYCOMB (SPONGE TOFFEE) BARK
- Either by bain-marie or microwave melt the chocolate, chop the honey comb/ sponge toffee into small pieces and stir into the melted chocolate. Pour the mixture onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and let set in the fridge for 3-4 hours then break into pieces and serve.
Notes
- Some people say the temperature should reach 280 - 284F but I find that the toffee tastes burnt if I go past 280F/138C.
- While this sponge candy treat is best fresh as honeycomb softens quickly, you can store it in an airtight container at room temperature away from humidity for up to a week. Chocolate coated honeycomb will stay fresh a bit longer. You can also prolong its life by adding it to other treats like ice cream!
