You know the stuff - it's the middle of a Crunchie. I've tried to make it today - burnt the first one batch and had to chisel it off the pan, the second tasted too much of bicarb and has gone in the bin!

Anyone of you cooks had success with this and willing to share their recipe? I don't disappoint my little lad again!!?

Thank you kindly x

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I have given up - I always found I had to make three or four batches to get one that worked. Perhaps try making smaller amounts and watch it like a hawk?

Good idea and thank you - but I wanted to make it at home with little one. Ah well, we'll do peppermint creams instead...nothing to go wrong there.

The secret is.....a very heavy copper bottomed pan, the mix needs to boil at a very high temperature

Not sure if this is correct but, I think I read somewhere that you're not supposed to use a non stick pan.

Make sure you add some liquid glucose in recipe mix, key is when honeycomb in pan visibly bursts on expansion to immediately and quickly pour into prepared baking tray.

There are so many recipes on the internet, all with different ingredients and differing quantities of bacarb. I think I give up - thanks for all your advice though x

I believe I should stay away from sugar work.
