ali-s Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I would like to make some too I have tried here www.bbc.co.uk/food but can't find it the ingredients were, golden syrup, caster sugar and bicarb, but I can't remember the amounts used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Found the recipe the BBC food site has a forum and someone had posted with a request for the recipe 100g Caster sugar 4 Tablespoons Syrup 1 & 1/2 Tablespoons Bicarb chocobo can you remember how to make it? I think it went like this Mix sugar and syrup. Heat, shake pan do not stir. add bicarb and whisk. Pour onto baking sheet and leave to cool. Smash with a hammer and eat all the honeycomb yourself. You could make little pieces of Crunchie if it was covered in chocolate Edited because of unforgivable spelling mistakes Edited October 2, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I made some from a similar recipe last week - I dropped the spoon in it just as i was about to pour it onto greased paper..... and then the phone rang . We had to remove set honeycomb from around the spoon but it was still lovely, and so easy to make. I used it in home-made ice cream (well, a little bit of it went in the ice-cream ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Yummy yummy! Will have to make some for hubby as he remembers it as Cinder Toffee!!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueSteve Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 . I used it in home-made ice cream (well, a little bit of it went in the ice-cream ) I saw Nigella for the first time the other night, don't think I will watch her again, but the honeycomb did look so easy to make. Just I wouldn't want to eat it straight, too much sugar! But with ice-cream! That sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have just had a go a making this, sounded so yummy! I went a bit wrong though and it looks right but is a soft toffee constancy. I have just had great fun eating half a try it's really nice. But I would like to be able to break it up as it's supposed to be. I am guessing I have not heated it enough. I went by the method posted on here and just let it boil for a few minutes. So how hot or how do I know when its ready for the bicarb to be added? I want to go and make some more. It's sooo nice even if it went wrong. Thank you everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I attempted Hokey Pokey! Let's just say it was very sticky. I think I left it in the pan too long once I'd added the bicarb and I managed to pour it out onto the greaseproof and it didn't set. I managed to get it off the greaseproof when it was a bit more solid but with great difficulty. I then put it on the cooling rack and when I came into the kitchen this morning I found it had seeped through the holes in the rack and stuck itself to the sides. We managed to get it off and put it into food waste! It was very funny, but a bit of a problem to clean off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove from heat and stir in the bicarb. Immediately, pour onto baking parchment (or greased paper) on a baking sheet to set. Break into pieces.

Lesley Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Oh! - I'm sure it will be Clare I dropped the spoon into mine as I was about to tip it onto the greased paper - the phone rang and so I tipped the whole lot out and the spoon set into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 What luck! The book man who brings a pile of books round every so often just happened to have the Nigella express one, Hoorah! I now have the method. I had done it really wrong actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xScrunchee Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Enjoyed making this although first one was like the magic porrige pot and just kept growing-my tin wasn't big enough so it all over flowed onto the draining board!! Since then they have come out fine. My Mum is addicted to the stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I had a choccy craving - so went on lifeline online & made these!!!! I have to say I am very impressed! You could fool a few people with these, they would never believe that they are diet food! Ferrero Rocher alternative: Crumble 8 Scan Bran (slimming worlds own) / 4 ryvita into a bowl and mix in 1 tbsp water, 4 level tbsp Nutella and 1 level tbsp syrup. Divide into little bun cases (sweet cases)and leave in the fridge to set. Makes 20 delicious treats for just 1 Syn each! Good enough to share (if you can bear to!)
