A quick and easy recipe for crispy honeycomb toffee sponge candy paired with a silky chocolate dip, perfect for gifting or enjoying as a nostalgic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
  • Vegetable oil or non-stick spray (for greasing pan)
  • 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Measure all ingredients and have them ready.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
  3. Stop stirring and let the mixture boil, swirling gently, until it turns deep amber (about 300°F or 150°C), approximately 8-10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately add baking soda. Stir vigorously; the mixture will foam and bubble.
  5. Pour the foamy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading evenly without flattening bubbles. Let cool and harden for 30-40 minutes.
  6. Heat heavy cream until just simmering, pour over chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, let sit 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Stir in butter if using.
  7. Break hardened honeycomb into pieces. Dip each piece partially into the chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper to set.
  8. Allow chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

Notes

Do not stir the sugar syrup while boiling to avoid crystallization. Add baking soda immediately after removing from heat for best bubbles. Use medium heat to prevent burning. Store candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Refrigeration is not recommended unless in warm climates. For vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
