Honeycomb Recipes please !!!!!

Dont simmer on low heat for 5 mins, it needs longer (trust me i tried it again!) and it was too soft.

I think the trick is to get it to the 'hard crack' stage. If you think its ready, take it off the heat and drop a little bit into a glass of water - if it goes rock hard then its ready to add the bi-carb, if it sets soft then its not ready and needs more cooking so put it back on.

I ran out of syrup so when i go to the shops i'll try again - i'm determined to make this stuff whether it kills me or not - maybe 4th time lucky??? lol

DD & I didn't get around to making it last night as DS1 had youth group.

We're going to be making this in the next hour so I will come back in and let you know how I go.

Well, last night i made two seperate batches ... yeh, me too MrsB26 so determined to make it ... So, i rapid simmered (found the meaning of it on a recipe forum, LOL) for about 5 or maybe just under 6mins ... and took it on & off the jet if the bubbles looked like they were rolling (if that makes sense ) ... and one batch i finished i made it standing high but the inside was a bit 'too' soft & the inside had a bit of a bi-carb taste to it ... BUT the batch i did which i flattened a bit (about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cm) it tasted YUMMY ... Just like the real deal honeycomb from the shop ... only i just wish it could be the same texture & taste being about an inch high

So, NO burning taste with 'either' batch !!!

I popped into a tupperware container lined with foil & 24 hours later it didn't go soft but stayed exactly the same, not too hard but with some crunch

MrsB26 ...Thanks for the suggestion of rapid simmer for 5 mins ...And Lisa Thanks again for the recipe
