Homemade gifts: Hokey pokey honeycomb!

Lots of people love honeycomb...our family used to buy it every time we went to Wells-next-the-sea in Norfolk when I was little. Seaside tradition!

My mom especially loves it as she loves a  Crunchie chocolate bar too!

It's so easy to make and great as a quick food based gift to take to a friends or family special occasion.

For a reasonable sized slab, I reduced the amounts in a Nigella Lawson method and used:

What you will need:

50g caster sugar

2 tablespoons golden syrup

1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

What you have to do:

Mix the sugar and syrup in a saucepan OFF THE HEAT

When combined, heat on and it will bubble and should turn a deeper golden brown colour

At this point, take off the heat and quickly stir in the bicarb. It will fizz up like a big sponge, immediately turn out onto a greased surface and leave to cool.

There you go!
