Ingredients

• Butter, for greasing.
• 200g caster sugar.

• 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda.

Method

1. Grease a 20cm square tin with butter, you can also use baking parchment if you wish.
2. Get a deep saucepan, mix the caster sugar and golden syrup and stir over gentle heat until the suagr has completely melted. Don't let mixture get to bubbling point.
3. Turn up the flame and simmer until the mixture turns to a amber coloured caramel. Turn off the heat as quickly as possible and add the bicarbonate of soda into the mixture, beat with a wooden spoon.
4. By this point, the mixture should be foaming.
5. Scrape the mixture into the tin, then leave it to cool for 1 hour- 1 hour and 30 minutes.
6. By this time, the honeycomb should be hardened and ready to crumble or snap into slices or chunks. You can also add chocolate on top and let it cool again.
