Vegan Chocolate Dipped Honeycomb • It Would not Style Like Hen

Simply 5 components and surprisingly straightforward to make, this vegan chocolate-dipped honeycomb is an excellent crunchy, candy, caramel-y, chocolatey deal with that you just simply cannot get sufficient of! It tastes identical to a Cadbury Crunchie Bar however higher, and it is vegan too!

Honeycomb sweet can be known as sponge toffee, cinder toffee, seafoam, or hokey pokey, relying on the place you reside. Sugar, corn syrup, and water are boiled after which baking soda is added which causes a chemical response that makes the combination foam like loopy! (Oooo science-y). As soon as the sugar is cooled and set it is filled with air bubbles making it delightfully crunchy! I notably love mine dipped in chocolate and loved with espresso, a cup of tea, or a bourbon on the rocks!

My honeycomb recipe would not include honey and I ensure that to make use of vegan chocolate chips or darkish chocolate that’s dairy-free to make sure it’s vegan.

Suggestions and Methods:

Prep all the pieces forward of time: This recipe goes rapidly so it’s worthwhile to have all the pieces prepared. Line a big baking sheet with parchment paper and set it apart. Measure out the baking soda and set it apart. Get a sweet thermometer and picket spoon prepared.

Warning: boiling sugar could be very sizzling, please watch out when making this recipe. Hold kids and canines out of the kitchen and shield your self with oven mitts.

Humidity: honeycomb will get very sticky when the humidity is excessive so this recipe is greatest made on dryer day and I wish to retailer my toffee within the freezer to maintain it dry and funky.

Corn Syrup: I used gentle corn syrup (that’s clear in coloration), to get this beautiful smooth yellow coloration of toffee. If in case you have golden syrup, that may work too however the toffee will likely be a bit darker in coloration.

Get a Thermometer: whereas it’s potential to eyeball this recipe, it is fairly tough to do and can typically result in a large number. Save your self the stress and decide up a thermometer (they’re very inexpensive and a great device to have within the kitchen). A thermometer that clips onto the facet of the pot would be the best to make use of, simply clip it onto the pot and relaxation the tip simply above the pot backside (don’t contact the pot backside with the thermometer as it’ll learn hotter). If have an instant-read probe thermometer, check the temperature typically by placing the tip within the liquid simply above the underside of the pot. Because it nears 300F ensure that to proceed to carry the thermometer in place in order that you don’t miss it and burn the sugar.

The right way to Make Honeycomb (sponge toffee) step-by-step:

Add the sugar, water, and corn syrup to a medium saucepan and put over medium warmth. Use a picket spoon to combine collectively. (Wooden doesn’t conduct warmth so it is very important use a picket spoon for this). As soon as the combination is blended and it begins boiling across the edges, cease stirring and don’t stir once more.

Let the sugar boil on medium warmth (don’t improve the warmth), maintaining an in depth eye on the thermometer. Don’t depart it unattended.

As soon as it reaches 300F (149C), working rapidly, take away the pan from the warmth.

Sprinkle the baking soda over prime of the boiling sugar after which use your picket spoon to rapidly combine the baking soda into the combination.

It can foam quite a bit, preserve mixing till it turns a smooth golden yellow coloration, 30 – 60 seconds of stirring.

Then rapidly pour on the parchment paper line baking sheet. You may gently shake the pan to attempt to unfold the toffee, however don’t attempt to unfold it with a spoon or it’ll deflate.
Let chill till utterly cooled and agency. (About 1 – 2 hours). As soon as agency you possibly can break it into items. I like to choose up the parchment paper with the honeycomb toffee on it and drop it on the counter to interrupt it up.

Now you can optionally dip the honeycomb in chocolate (I extremely suggest this)! Yum.

Soften the chocolate chips within the microwave in 20-second increments, stopping to stir, and being cautious to not burn the chocolate. Alternatively, you possibly can soften the chocolate in a double boiler.
Dip items of the honeycomb into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment paper-lined baking tray. If desired you could possibly even sprinkle them with a little bit of flaky sea salt. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or pop the tray within the fridge or freeze to set faster. Retailer vegan chocolate dipped honeycomb in an hermetic container within the fridge or freezer for as much as 3 months.
