Honeycomb Ingredients
365g (12.87 ounces) caster sugar
140g (4.94 ounces) glucose syrup
110ml water
1 tsp bicarb
1/2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
Gather everything you need including a pastry brush in a cup of water, a bowl lined with non-stick paper, bicarb and baking powder measured out an d sifted and an oven mitt.
Put the sugar, glucose syrup and water into a wide based pan and put on high heat.
Stir until it begins to boil, then wash down sides of pan using the wet pastry brush. This washes down the splashes of sugar from the edges so they do not burn.
Then leave on high heat without stirring, until it JUST begins to brown in one spot. N.B. on gas stove tops this is likely to be at one edge, on electric it is likely to be in the middle. This will take about 5 minutes but keep watching it as timing is crucial. If you add the bicarb too early it won’t set, too late and it will taste burnt.
As soon as you see a light golden patch remove from the heat, stir a couple of times with the whisk to evenly distribute the heat. Then sprinkle in the bicarb and baking powders
Stir about three times with the whisk until just combined. It will start to bubble but still looks too pale for honeycomb – don’t worry it gets darker in the bowl.
Do not over stir. Pour immediately into the lined bowl.
Leave for about three hours to cool right through – this is the hardest part, as the smell of honeycomb wafts through the house everyone wants to eat it now. It may will sink in the middle as it cools.
Once it is completely cool peel of the paper and turn upside down.
Smash into pieces and eat! Tastes especially good dipped in melted chocolate – ideal with chocolate fountains.
Enjoy

Can i use glucose power instead of glucose syrup?
145g glucose powder dissolved in 35g water (you will probably need to heat it in a saucepan to dissolve it). This should give you 1/2 cup of glucose syrup.
Thanksssss ^^
can I use also something others than glucose syrup here in the swiss we dont have this..
Do you have glucose powder or corn syrup?
I was wondering that too… we don’t have corn syrup or glucose syrup, or powder… can I use honey or maybe agave syrup?
Hi suncica you could try with honey as that contains some glucose but you are not going to be able to see the colour change and it would taste very strong. Do you have a candy thermometer?
I’m afraid I don’t have the thermometer.
But I will try it any way…
We do have something like ‘glycerolum’ in the pharmacy to buy, and I use it when I have to make fondant, so maybe I can try with that?
Can I replace the glucose with corn syrup with the same quantity?
yes you can
Hi Ann,
Will golden syrup work in place of glucose syrup? Will it work in fondant recipes too?
Hi sherry, You would need ot experiment, obviously it will effect the colour and it has glucose and fructose in it so I am not sure how the fructose will behave in these recipes.
I’ve waited 3 hours for it to set and it hasn’t its still quite liquidy
Hi Gareth it should start setting immediately but just be too hot to handle, if not it has not been heated hot enough.
Hey Ann! I tried this recipe out a few weeks back and it was AMAZING. I loved it(and I love you, too). Thanks so much for posting it.

Hi Ann, I have light corn syrup here, is it same as corn syrup? Can i replace the glucose syrup with light corn syrup? Thank you!
Hi evelyn yes you can use the light corn syrup (light in colour with some vanilla added) but not the lite corn syrup (lower sugar)
Hi, thanks for your fast replied, I’m one i have here is Karo Light corn syrup High Fructose corn syrup.
