Honeycomb

I made another batch - I tell you I love this stuff ;-)

Some of the girls from Ballas were with us this week and although we did make the necessary stop off at the 'lolly shop' for supplies, when I suggested it, making some of Donna's honeycomb was greeted with a resounding yes! Now admittedly these girls have never tasted said honeycomb before so all understandable really – especially after hearing me talk about it!

 

This iteration I think was the best yet – even H'o'M, previously not a big fan, enjoyed this batch! My strategy was a little more particular this time I think. Deciding when the sugar was completely dissolved into the butter, honey and maple syrup is clearly a crucial step and one I have been a tad cavalier about in the past! Also, once the bi-carb is added – making a fantastic chemical reaction – I was more precise when I stirred them all together, and mixed for a longer time.

End result – more even and crunchier honeycomb

Sadly I forgot to take a photo and have sent the results back to Ballas with the girls. Sorry!
