Honeycomb, also called cinder toffee or honeycomb candy, contains no honey. It takes its name from its aerated look, which resembles the comb made by bees, and the bubbles come from the bicarbonate of soda in the recipe, which combines brown sugar with golden syrup.
Which Honeycomb Should I Choose?
Produced by Shoebury Confectionery in the UK, the range covers Honeycomb Chunks, Honeycomb Bites and Honeycomb Granules. The bites and granules are coated, which suits chocolate and patisserie applications.
How Do I Use Honeycomb?
Enrobe it, or fold it into chocolate bars for a crunchy, sweet and crumbly texture. It also decorates cakes, traybakes, cupcakes and ice cream. Scatter the granules over a dessert as a finish, or use the chunks where you want a bigger bite in a bar or a slice of rocky road.
