Traditional Honeycomb Toffee Recipe

Step 1

Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

Step 2

Set up a water bath beside your cooktop. You'll want it deep enough to come up the sides of your loaf tin without spilling over the top.

Step 3

Set your loaf tin the water.

Step 4

Sift 1tsp bi-carb soda into a small bowl and set aside.

Step 5

Place 200g sugar and 100ml water into a saucepan and place over a medium heat.

Step 6

Watch over your toffee, once you see a small patch of it begin to darken in colour remove it from the heat and set it down on a cool part of the cooktop.

Step 7

Taking your time, stir your toffee gently with a whisk to distribute the heat evenly.

Step 8

Sift your bi-carb soda a second time into the saucepan with your toffee.

Step 9

Working quickly now, using your whisk, mix your bi-carb soda into your toffee. Stir gently, and only as much as it necessary to incorporate the bi-carb soda.

Step 10

Immediately pour your honeycomb into your pre-prepared tin in the water bath.

Step 11

Allow to sit for 30-40 minutes to cool.

Step 12

Remove your honeycomb from the tin, break it up, and enjoy.
