Chocolate Covered Honeycomb

by Emily

For as long as I can remember, honeycomb has been one of my absolute favorite treats. My love affair began when I was five years old and my next door neighbor’s mother brought some back from England. I was immediately transfixed by the light and crunchy candy and have been trying to satisfy my cravings ever since. Though nothing compares with that initial excitement of my first honeycomb, this recipe comes pretty close.

I’ve been trying it for a couple weeks now and I’m not sure if it’s helped, but it’s fun trying!

72 Callie { 02.03.10 at 3:23 pm }: If you love honeycomb then you have to try a chocolate called Violet Crumble. It’s a fave here in Australia – not sure if it first came out in the UK though…. YUM! Better than Crunchie
73 Kelly { 02.03.10 at 4:02 pm }: Would it be possible to get invite to Gilt Groupe? Thanks Emily! I LOVE your blog : )

88 andrew { 02.04.10 at 8:41 pm }: In New Zealand we call this hokey pokey and it is also an ice cream flavor that has little bits of hokey pokey in vanilla ice cream. Has to be tried if your ever in NZ
89 JaNielle { 02.07.10 at 7:46 pm }: Looks yummy! I will have to try this one!

92 Hilary { 02.10.10 at 11:08 am }: Looks wonderful. What kind of chocolate did you use to dip it in?
93 Hilary { 02.10.10 at 11:09 am }: Looks delicious! What kind of chocolate did you use to dip it in?
94 Hilary { 02.10.10 at 11:10 am }: What kind of chocolate did you use to dip it in?
95 M { 02.12.10 at 2:28 pm }: so tempting!
96 Leah { 10.01.10 at 1:32 am }: can’t you just buy honeycomb?? It’s really not worth making honeycomb here (Australia) except for fun, because it’s so cheap to just buy in the supermarket. I also can’t believe there are people who have never had honeycomb! I was so young when I first had honeycomb, I can’t even remember!

Andrew: hokey pokey is different to honeycomb, it’s generally butterscotch. (That’s how it is in Australia anyway, so I imagine NZ is not that different).

Oh, and Crunchie honeycomb is nowhere near as good as Violet Crumble or real honeycomb!!
97 Brittany Matthews { 11.08.10 at 8:24 pm }: i am trying to make this and it just comes out sticky and taffy-like. how long did you boil your mixture and how long did you let it set? any tips?

Thank you,
Brittany
