Chocolate Covered Honeycomb

February 3rd, 2010

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 never heard of this before but I think I am going to have to try it this weekend – I like the chocolate covered touch too – makes it look extra delicious!

  • Callie

    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 :)

  • Kelly

    Would it be possible to get invite to Gilt Groupe? Thanks Emily! I LOVE your blog : )

  • Michelle

    do you guys have Crunchie in the US? It’s pretty much the exact same thing

    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

  • http://thestyleswatch.tumblr.com/ JaNielle

    Looks yummy! I will have to try this one!

  • http://thestyleswatch.tumblr.com/ JaNielle

    The chocolate can’t hurt either!

  • Ellen

    YUM…and YUM. I love honeycomb…is it as easy as it sounds to make? The minimal ingredients are friendly on the wallet, too!

    so tempting!

  • Leah

    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!!

  • Brittany Matthews

    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
