Honeycomb - also known as cinder toffee - makes a delicious sweet garnish for desserts. It adds the perfect crunch and a little pop of colour to simple desserts, and pairs brilliantly with chocolate. Here we've served it with a Pots & Co Double Chocolate Ganache and some chocolate-covered cacao nibs. Pots & Co’s full dessert range can be found on their website.
Line a wide, rimmed metal baking tray with some parchment paper
Add sugar, glucose, water and honey to a medium sized pan. Cook on a high heat until the syrup reaches 156°C, and turns golden brown
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the bicarb, whisking vigorously to dissolve any lumps. It will bubble up a lot, so take care
Quickly pour the mixture into your prepared container. Allow to cool completely before breaking into small pieces to use as garnish, or storing in an airtight container. We served ours with some chocolate covered cacao nibs and a Pots & Co Double Chocolate Ganache
