Chocolate Covered Honeycomb
Ready to make a showstopper dessert that looks like it came from a gourmet candy shop? This Chocolate Covered Honeycomb is the perfect combination of crunchy, airy candy coated in rich, smooth chocolate. It's easier than you think, and the results are absolutely irresistible.
Ingredients
For the Honeycomb
- 1½ cups granulated white sugar
- ½ cup water
- ⅓ cup light corn syrup
- 3 tablespoons Go Honey pure honey
- 4 teaspoons baking soda (must be fresh)
For the Chocolate Coating
- 1 pound chocolate almond bark or chocolate melts
- White chocolate melts for drizzling (optional)
- Sea salt flakes or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Prepare Your Pan
Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on sides for easy removal.
Cook the Sugar Mixture
Combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and honey in a heavy-bottomed pot. Stir gently to combine, then cook over medium-high heat without stirring until the candy thermometer reads 300°F (hard crack stage). The mixture should turn light caramel in color.
Add the Baking Soda
Immediately remove pot from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda until just combined—do not over-stir. The mixture will foam dramatically, expanding to 2-3 times its original size.
Pour and Cool
Pour the foamy mixture into the prepared pan immediately. Do not spread or touch it—let gravity do the work. Cool completely for approximately one hour.
Break into Pieces
Lift the hardened honeycomb out using the parchment paper and break into irregular pieces by hand or with a sharp knife.
Coat in Chocolate
Melt chocolate in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each. Dip each honeycomb piece using two forks, tap off excess, and place on a parchment-lined surface. Add toppings before chocolate sets.
Set and Store
Allow chocolate to set completely at room temperature before storing in an airtight container for up to one month.
