Ingredients
Scale
For the Honeycomb:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate (or milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor)

Ingredient Highlights
- Granulated Sugar: The base for the honeycomb, creating a sweet and crunchy texture.
- Light Corn Syrup: Helps prevent crystallization, ensuring a smooth honeycomb.
- Baking Soda: Creates the airy bubbles in the honeycomb, giving it that delightful crunch.
- Chocolate: Rich and creamy, it pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the honeycomb.
Instructions
Prepare the Honeycomb
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Cook the Mixture: Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil without stirring. Cook until the mixture reaches a golden amber color (approximately 300°F / 150°C).
- Add Baking Soda: Remove from heat and quickly whisk in the baking soda. The mixture will bubble up vigorously—this is normal!
- Pour onto Baking Sheet: Immediately pour the honeycomb mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not spread it; let it spread naturally.
- Cool: Allow the honeycomb to cool completely (about 20 minutes).
Coat the Honeycomb in Chocolate
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
- Break the Honeycomb: Once cooled, break the honeycomb into pieces using your hands or a knife.
- Dip in Chocolate: Dip each piece of honeycomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place on a parchment-lined tray to set.
- Let Set: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting.
