[kevgballs]

Is it better to use granulated sugar than castor sugar? ive used caster sugar cause it was the only thing in the house. The end result isn't as stiff as yours. its alot more liquidy. Would you think the type of sugar would make a difference?

Thanks

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@kevgballs Yes it can make a difference. I used white sugar. :)

[Adeptmind]

Thank you for not using corn syrup

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@Adeptmind Welcome. :)

[ArtfulBlossom]

@TheHannah280 I used 3/4 cup granulated sugar.

[ArtfulBlossom]

I tried a crunchie bar only once & i live in the usa & i thought it was amazing. so i googled recipes & it surprised me how easy it was to make honeycomb. I experimented quite a few times & i found that 3 Tbs of light corn syrup & 1 Tbs of Honey mixed with granulated sugar simmering over medium heat for about 5 minutes makes excellent honeycomb after you add 1 Tbs baking soda. Pour it out onto parchment paper. come back in about half an hour & break it, smother it in chocolate & BAM! Heaven :)

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@ArtfulBlossom Your recipe sounds awesome :)

[TheHannah280]

@ArtfulBlossom How much granulated sugar?



[Squidgymom1]

you made it look so simple ..... i have made it a few times and i have burnt it :(

will try this again NOW

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@Squidgymom1 Good luck :)

[unclaimedtreas]

I had the plain cinder toffee / honeycomb at Castle Howard, but none of these videos show it the way it looked . This looks like peanut brittle minus the peanuts. I made some and that's how it turned out. (Sigh) I guess I just have to buy Crunchie bars here in the U.S., but I really like it best without the chocolate.

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@unclaimedtreas If you want soft honeycomb you need to change the way it's made. This recipe is for crunchy honeycomb :)

[x100AWESOMENESS]

@SimpleCookingChannel how to we change it?

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@x100AWESOMENESS Change what?

[Elyobo893]

is sodium bicarbonate just baking powder? :)

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@Elyobo893 No. It's baking soda. :)

[SimsQuality]

Can you use honey instead of golden syrup

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@SimsQuality Sure. It will be a little different but basically the same :)

[meraquamarine95]

by 'golden syrup' do you mean honey?

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@meraquamarine95 No i mean Golden Syrup. Golden syrup is something that is put on pancakes a lot :)

[57johnston]

i made this but it all stuck to the tin. I dont think I greased it enough but cool guide thanks

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@57johnston Oh no :(

[LiLbUg99]

lol, good job mate.

I've been trying for a while with this kind of ratio

300ml sugar

100ml syrup

2 tablspoons of water (~30ml)

10ml bi-carb

My main problem has been getting the sugar to 'hard-crack' temperature. I bought a Candy Thermometer to help me do this but its still not happening for me.

Hard crack occurs at 149 degrees celcius, the highest i've acheived is about 146 and it got burnt.

[LiLbUg99]

@LiLbUg99 However, I've achieved 'almost' honeycomb at temperatures as low as 130 degrees or so (the honeycomb was crumbly, but became quite chewy afterwards while you were eating it).

Another problem is getting it 'fluffy'. I have been eating more honeycomb lately as comparisons and the commercial variants are very light and fluffy, that is the air pockets in the candy are quite uniform and larger than what i tend to achieve.

[LiLbUg99]

@LiLbUg99

I guess its just experimentation, finding the right amount of bicarb to add to get the texture you want etc.

Thought i'd share.

I'll put a video up if i ever get what i'm after.

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@LiLbUg99 You are right. I guess after a while you get used to how much & when to add things etc. I look forward to you video :)

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@LiLbUg99 Mine are crunchy all the way through. It's interesting how you are having trouble. I have never had problems but maybe i'm am just lucky :)

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@LiLbUg99 Wow that's sounds complicated. I have never used a candy thermometer. I just know when it's ready :)

[TheGmcFilms]

thanks very much as my honeycomb was a bit sticky. It's more of this type of honeycombe I'm looking at. Thanks very much for the recipe . About to go now and try again. Will let you know how it goes

K'scakes

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@TheGmcFilms Awesome. I hope you like it. I prefer the crunchy type i make to the sticky type :)

[101pinkmelons]

I have a question. Is sodium bicarbonate just baking soda because in that case I can make it :3 and btw, are you a chef? Ur like a food guru. XD

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@101pinkmelons Yes is also called Baking Soda :) Thanks :) No i'm not a chef, i just like to cook :) Have a great day :)

[101pinkmelons]

I didnt know u could make honeycomb.

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@101pinkmelons Yeah you sure can & it's delicious :)

[mrEbraheem]

@SimpleCookingChannel Hi can I use honey insted of Golden Syrup

Also can I use baking pouder insted of Sodium Bicarbonate? please help me ;)

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@mrEbraheem You can use honey instead for sure. You can us baking powder though. Baking soda is fine :)

[mrEbraheem]

@SimpleCookingChannel Ok thanks man love your vids ;)

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@mrEbraheem Welcome & thank you :)

[otagirican]

how long do you stir on heat after putting sodium bi..? cuz mine became flat batter when I put it on tin

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@otagirican I only stir for about 5-6 seconds. If you stir for too long it will start to deflate.

[otagirican]

@SimpleCookingChannel I see, thanks.. =D

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@otagirican Not a prob. There's a bit of trial & error involved but once you know how to do it it's a breeze :)

[sugarbabieskitchen]

They look so delicious, but you made it yummier with the chocolate on the top. :)

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@sugarbabieskitchen Thanks. I gobbled it up with a few friends very quickly :)

[MrEZCooking]

I think my girlfriends kids would love that! When I go to see her next I will see if the kids want to get in the kitchen with me and make it! That will be the deal they make it they eat it!

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@MrEZCooking Sounds like a great idea. lol I hope they do a good job at making it & then eating it all up :)

[MrEZCooking]

@SimpleCookingChannel I wish I had seen this before I went on vacation I just got back but the next time I go I will take this recipe with me and we will do it! I will let you know how it turns out!.......Cheers bud!

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@MrEZCooking Not a prob. Hope it goes well :)

[silverwhale12]

i made it and it was really hard and crunch do u think i accidenl=tly used baking powder

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@silverwhale12 I have no idea what you used. It's supposed to be hard but if you put in a bit more sodium bicarbonate ( Baking soda ) in it will not be as hard. :)

[TheVibration1]

Is sodium barcabonite baking soda?

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@TheVibration1 Yes it's the same thing :)

[joetorsney]

could you crush this and mix it with ice cream?

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@joetorsney You sure could. It would be very crunchy but it would taste great :)

[joetorsney]

@SimpleCookingChannel brilliant, I'm having a party tomorrow thanks :D

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@joetorsney Awesome. I hope it's a hit :)

[funkyfuzzable]

thanks :)

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@funkyfuzzable You're welcome :)

[funkyfuzzable]

how long exactly do you let it cool for?

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@funkyfuzzable I usually put it in the fridge for 20 minutes :)

[naughtykrachead]

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@naughtykrachead Thanks :)

[otagirican]

[8087j]

No peanuts? Looks good anyway.

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@8087j No. Honeycomb doesn't have peanuts in it. With peanuts & some honey it makes peanut brittle which i will make at some point. :)

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@neacie71 I love peanut brittle. I will be making that for this channel as some point as well but i add honey to it :)

[exacerbatedtaboo]

What does bobs your uncle mean?

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@exacerbatedtaboo hahaha. It's an Australian saying. Typically, someone says it to conclude a set of simple instructions to mean, "And there you have it", or "You're all set". For example, "To make a ham sandwich, just put a piece of ham between two slices of buttered bread, and Bob's your uncle"

[exacerbatedtaboo]

@SimpleCookingChannel I see. I think the British use that expression as well. The first time I heard it I thought it meant something nasty. Well that makes sense now. Thanks for clearing that up for me. The honeycomb looks great btw. They sell honeycomb over here in the states at convenience and grocery stores but it's chewy. My mom loves it. I sent her this video. Take care.

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@exacerbatedtaboo Yes the British use it too :) Chewy honeycomb doesn't sound as nice as crunchy. Thanks for passing it on. I hope your mom likes it & cooks it for when you next have a movie night :)

[The806Traveler]

Looks like what we call peanut "brittle" round these parts. Obviously there are peanuts added to the mixture at temperature. Nice!

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@The806Traveler Yeah it's pretty much the same thing but in peanut brittle which i also make i use half honey half golden syrup :) Maybe i'll make that at some point :)

[babejjp]

OMG yum

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@babejjp :)

[jenzeppelin]

delicious. simple is best.

[SimpleCookingChannel]

@jenzeppelin Sure is :)

[Rudawg350]
