Indulge in golden, chocolate-covered airy bites.
Ingredients:
  • 335g (1 1/2 cups) white sugar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) liquid glucose
  • 53.60 gm golden syrup
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) water
  • 5.00 gm bicarbonate of soda, sifted
  • 200g dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 55g (1/3 cup) chopped pistachios
Instructions:
  • Prepare a large baking tray with raised sides lined with overhanging baking paper. Combine sugar, liquid glucose, golden syrup, and water in a large saucepan over low heat.
  • Stir the mixture while brushing the side of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water occasionally for 5-8 minutes until the sugar completely dissolves.
  • Turn up the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Let it cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until the syrup reaches 153°C on a sugar thermometer to the crack stage. Remove from heat and let it sit until the bubbles settle down.
  • Stir in the bicarbonate of soda quickly using a wooden spoon until well combined (the mixture will bubble and foam). Transfer the mixture to the prepared tray and let it cool completely before serving.
  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl in the microwave on Medium, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour the smooth melted chocolate over the honeycomb.
  • Spread chocolate smoothly with a palette knife, sprinkle with nuts, and allow to set for 10 minutes. Remove from the paper and transfer to a serving board. Gently smash with a small hammer.
