Chocolate Dipped Honeycomb
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1/2 cup Light corn syrup
- 2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Generous amt baking soda
- 1/4 cup water
- 12 oz Dark Chocolate
- 2 tbsp Shortening
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup, honey, and 1/4 cup water in a large saucepan.
- You want to use a saucepan large enough so that the mixture can triple in size and still be safely contained.
- Stir the ingredients together until the sugar is completely moistened.
- Using a wet pastry brush, wipe the sides of the saucepan to remove any stray sugar crystals.
- Insert a candy thermometer and cook the mixture over medium-high heat, without stirring, until the temperature reaches 300F.
- Once the candy is at the proper temperature, remove it from the heat and add the baking soda all at once.
- Immediately whisk the candy to incorporate the baking soda, and be carefulit will foam up a great deal!
- As soon as the baking soda is incorporated, pour the candy carefully onto the prepared sheet.
- Allow it to cool and harden completely, then break it into small pieces.
- Honeycomb can be eaten as-is, or you can dip it in chocolate:
- Combine the chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave it to melt the chocolate completely, stirring every minute.
- Note that the amount of chocolate required may vary depending on how thick you made your honeycomb and how many pieces you made.
- Using two forks, dip the individual pieces in chocolate so that they are completely covered, and replace them on the baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining honeycomb and refrigerate until chocolate is set.
- Best enjoyed within 24 hours.
