Happy Sunday all! Amy here.
Today, my boyfriend's brother and his (pregnant) girlfriend came round. She's about 5 months gone, and was telling us about her cravings. She was getting rather animated when describing how much she wanted a honeycomb sundae and how she wishes she could make them at home.

Now, i've never made honeycomb before, but i'd heard it was pretty easy.
So, after a quick search for a simple recipe online, I was straight in
the kitchen, measuring sugar and golden syrup into a pan.
It melted and bubbled away for about 10 minutes, before it went brittle when dropped into some cold water.
After quickly stirring in some bicarbonate of soda, it rapidly began to
fizz and expand, and I turned it out into a parchment lined tray.
The dark patches are where I tried to spread the honeycomb around, and it didn't like it. I had a lot of fun breaking this bad boy up into chunks! Combining it with some clotted cream ice cream, butterscotch and chocolate sauce in layers, I was (hopefully!) able to satiate a sweet tooth.
Very simple, very quick, and highly recommended for everyone to try at home!
