It's always a pleasure watching your videos. My 14 month old son absolutely loves them. He starts getting all excited when you start talking. It's very cute 😃
Made some last week to a different recipe and it came out all flat and sticky. After a bit of a snope I found out it's because the recipe called for water to be added (the enemy of dry, crisp toffee). Just tried your recipe and it has come out fantastic. A lovely treat for bonfire night.
its very similar to Korean sugar candy thing called Dalgona. Dalgona is made only with sugar and baking soda and laid out in a thin round blob and isn't as airy.
Yanicas Laurinda They are correct, you are thinking of Dalgona *coffee* .The original commenter is talking about the *candy* Dalgona! Search on TH-cam Dalgona candy, and you’ll find it!
In Korea, it's been on of the most common street snack! but we flatten it down and then press a shake with a wire stick? then we carefully break them so that on the shape in the middle remains, don't know if you get the picture but it's really fun! and if you can get the shape without breaking, you get another on for free! you can type 'bbopki' or 'dagona if you want the picture :)
Oh dear..when i left it to the hard crack or 149c temp, it was too dark and tasted burnt. If i make this again i think ill take it off the heat before that stage. also has a weird bitter bicarb taste despite only using the exact measurements
In South Korea, this is the only candy that kids can make by themselves. We have a machine for this snack. If you put some coins into the machine, it gives you a small mount of sugar and there is a small heater, big spoon, baking soda and lollipop sticks. So every kids could make it easily in 5 minutes :) It reminds me of my childhood.
I made iiiiiiiiit! It is sooo easy to make and it tastes delicious even more when dipped into any good quality milk chocolate! However, I really recommend to use a big deep pan when melting the sugar and the corn syrup because it's really going bing in volume when adding the bicarbonate of soda, whatch out! :)
I made this recipe using pancake syrup...what a fail! I think that I stirred it too much after adding the baking soda, I added a bit of vanilla favoring, and then I put mini chocolate chips on my pan before pouring in the candy batter. It shrunk down. and it was slow at hardening so I cut it into strips and placed it in the freezer to totally cool and maybe crunch up. Mine didn't turn out airy and crunchy, but it is sooo good! After the initial crunch from being stored in the freezer, it become sticky like taffy in my mouth. Oh my this mistake turned out wonderful, can't stop eating. Next time I'm going to stick to the recipe to find out how it should have been. Thanks
So, just a couple of things, I used german golden syrup, it is much darker than the one you use. I don't know if that is the reason but the whole thing started burning before it reached 120C. It was giving off pufs of rancid smelling smoke and was foamin intensly. Anyway I added the soda, it turned a light colour, but most of the soda did not disolve, the mix didn't cool down fast enough and deflated. Now it is not airy, it is kind of bitter from the burnt sugat and salty form the soda. I'm trying honey next time.
love to my favourite TH-camr :* i have tried alot of your recipes and all turned out very yummy , totally delicious and presentable ♡ some of my favourites are carrot , chocolate , nutella , oreo , red velvet cupcakes and alot more I love the way you explain each step.. keep rocking you beauty :*
Hey jemma i just tried this recipe still cooling down but i feel this might be the best recipe as i tried 3 different recipes back to back but results varies! Will definately share feedback once its completely cool
I just made this, i ran out of corn syrup so i used like 30 grams of honey. Also y couldn't find my candy thermometer so i really apreciate that you showed how hardball stage looks like. Can't wait 4 it to cool down
This Honeycomb is so good! I had lost my recipe that a carney man gave me in Massachusetts on the Boardwalk. I knew the ingredients but how much? Well, I had no clue as I hadn’t made it for a couple years. I just stumbled across this a couple days ago and made it earlier today and it was just awesome. Now I need to make some Vanilla Ice Cream and try to put the pieces of honeycomb in it after it has frozen when my maker calls for add-ins. I can’t wait. This would sure be a big hit for Christmas Bazaars! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes. They give me so many ideas 💡! I know how to bake and cook but when it comes to sending pics on Instagram, I’m helpless as a baker without a Kitchen aid mixer, 😂. Irish Jilli
Just made this recipe and can honestly say it was the easiest recipe I've tried and I've tried a couple the results were just as the video and I'll be giving this as a gift a xmas so huge thumbs up Jemma and the gang
Just made it the without a candy thermometer, had to use a glass of cold water to see when it got to hard crack stage. Just waiting on it to cool now, looking good :)
Just a tip I think should've been included. If you make this then make sure to have a kettle of boiling water ready to pour into the empty pan to clean it out. Otherwise you may as well chuck the pan in the bin.
Oh my god that sound when you cracked it in half and it split so perfectly.....I need this right now! I last tried to make honeycomb about 3 years ago with my friend, which involved me dropping a knife into the mixture as I poured it into the tin and then pandemonium as we tried to get the knife out of the rapidly setting honeycomb...A lot of screaming and yelling lol. The end result was not like honeycomb, it didn't snap we were basically playing tug of war to try and break it. It was really stretchy and like tar in your mouth. Idk what the hell we did wrong but hopefully this time will be better! Going to make honeycomb ice cream whoop
i feel that one of those brownie pans with the slicing insert would be perfect for this if you want to wrap up pieces for gifts or to nicely present them :)
I cup sugar 3tblpoons golden syrup stir bfore you put the heat on then heat to boiling point put 1 and a half teaspoons of bicarb stir like crazy it foams up then pour on baking sheet easy peasy
So there are soooooo many different recipies. I have it down to a few. Question, some use less golden syrup than sugar, and this one uses equal parts. How big is the difference in texture, taste, etc. This will be my first time making it
wow It is same way to make korean traditional snack which is called 'dal go na'. I think It has been make for long time ago. I didnt know same stuff in other country. and I'm suprised london is autumn because korea where I live in is also about to be autumn.
What did I do wrong? Followed your recipe and it cooled to a chewy toffee. The only thing I didn’t have was a thermometer. I’m thinking the temperature wasn’t right. I let it boil aggressively like yours. Any advise is welcome. I feel rather silly failing at this 😂
The honeycomb candy is chopped (with a knife) into small nugget bits, and folded into rainbow sprill (multicolored sprinkles)-to make what's called Krunch Koate. KK is used to cover ice cream cones.
Hello Dear. I want to know, how conservate the hokey pokey for a long time, like a 20 days or more. Do you have any recomendation? Thanks a lot. Have a nice week :D Laury
I’m making some here in West Allis today as a gift for my mother in law. She only calls it Fairy food so I was slightly confused since some recipes I’ve seen call for vinegar too. Your comment was very helpful. ❤️
Hi Jemma! I so love your recipes, especially your holiday recipes. I have a request though, can you please make a video for brownie just for christmas? please...:))) love you- from the Philippines
I feel like I have been cheated by the honeycomb ice cream shops... Never knew it was so easy! Also for those who can't find golden syrup like me, Jemma has said in the description box to use liquid glucose or corn syrup. That's what the description box is for.
Hi Gemma, have just died to do this recipe and its burnt, follow the ingredients correctly, waited for the temperature to reach hard crack, but I did notice that it was getting darker, would my saucepan be too big, please help, doing it for a fair. Than you
Thank you for recipe - had competition at work for best hokey pokey n I came third which is amazing for me - only got beaten cos other two drenched theirs in chocolate - thanks again
In Hungary, we use honey instead of golden/corn syrup, and it works perfectly! We call it "Turkish honey", and it was one of my favourite sweets during my childhood. It's still very popular at village fairs.
Jemma has said in the description box to use liquid glucose or corn syrup. However, I pulled up some other recipes online that uses honey. The amount of honey is reduced, since it is much thinner than golden syrup or corn syrup.

We all get it now lol
We definitely all know this now haha
We all know it due to SQUID GAMES
You my friend described something , that we rest of the world know now. Thankyou ❤️
Am I the only one who instantly gets all excited whenever I see Jemma's video? It's always so exciting to see what she's gonna surprise us with! :D
I just tried it and worked out perfectly! ☺️ You can't buy honeycomb in my country so I'm very excited about this!
Oh dear..when i left it to the hard crack or 149c temp, it was too dark and tasted burnt. If i make this again i think ill take it off the heat before that stage. also has a weird bitter bicarb taste despite only using the exact measurements
It's also fantastic smashed up and then rolled around a toffee or chocolate covered apple.

For the past two years I have made honey comb as Christmas stocking fillers. It always goes down a treat.
I made it right away, now waiting for it to cool I can't wait to find out how it tastes :3
Anne Roos Is it good ?
ikhlasous I made it with honey so it would taste a bit different I guess but I think it's really yummie
My grandma made it with molasses ;) I'll definitely try to make some, my dad will go bonkers.
Anne Roos how many soda ?
Get ready for diabetes in the future.
Did this twice exactly as it says with a thermometer to 149 degrees and it’s just really chewy! Not sure where I’m going wrong! X
Yess and mine taste bitter :((
@@Cardibeeh mine too! It ended up in the bin :( it’s like my 5th attempt I give up now haha
maybe your thermometer is off you should place it in boiling water to see if it reads 100C that way you will know if its accurate
Mine burnt before it reached 150, how do you get it to that temp without burning? I was stirring it, and had low until sugar melted

You can always soak the pan in warm water later and it will still dissolve. After all, it's only sugar really.
It's the hot golden syrup that causes the issue.
Golden syrup is just another form of sugar. It's still water soluble.
Lol that’s what I was thinking
Hi jemma can I use honey instead of golden syrup

Yehey! Thanks, Jemma. I've been looking for a video how to make honeycomb. I trust your recipes so I can finally make one.

Hii jemma.. can I use light corn syrup instead of golden corn syrup..??
Please advice.... thanks..
I made this and am now woefully addicted. Oh my!
I cup sugar 3tblpoons golden syrup stir bfore you put the heat on then heat to boiling point put 1 and a half teaspoons of bicarb stir like crazy it foams up then pour on baking sheet easy peasy
cant wait till I visit your shop!
quick and carefull ain't my word
Can I use agave syrup or maple syrup instead? Would that work?
Do you think it would work nicely, if I put a little bit of orange extract into the mix?
Ahhh now I'm full on craving hokey pokey ice cream! Off to the supermarket I go!
Would you recommend making it a thinner spread? or do you think ot will be too thin for the bubbles to remain :3? Bill Vid as per usual ^^
So there are soooooo many different recipies. I have it down to a few. Question, some use less golden syrup than sugar, and this one uses equal parts. How big is the difference in texture, taste, etc. This will be my first time making it
Omg super easy and delicious! Helped me when I've got unexpected guests haha
Just made this ... waiting for it to set... can't wait!!!
wow It is same way to make korean traditional snack which is called 'dal go na'. I think It has been make for long time ago. I didnt know same stuff in other country. and I'm suprised london is autumn because korea where I live in is also about to be autumn.
I remember making this in college when I got bored and I broke mine up with a hammer! 😂

"Sticks and stones will break your bones, but hard crack sugar maims" Make this your mantra!
My granny and I used to make this and now I make it with my grandchildren but I call it sponge toffee.
its almost same as korean traditional street snack:)
Just made this and it is dead easy and makes a lot.
have a great day y'all!
Can you add sea salt to it? Would it mess up the consistency etc?
One of.my favorite baker. Thank u for teaching us.
Thanks for the recipe it worked out perfect! You are the best! I love you jemma😊😊😊
Can you use maple syrup instead of corn syrup?
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it didn't work for me! The bubbles from the baking soda disappeared and left me with a sticky sludge.

You can make it only with white sugar and baking soda. In South Korea we call it Dalgona..
I'm so excited for the Halloween recipes!
Thank you, followed your recipe and the result was perfect 😇😍♥️😘
I feel like we shouldn't have to tell people that caramel is really hot......but, alas, we do.
mmmm honeycomb is my favourite ! definitely gonna try make this
Substitute for golden syrup? Honey?
Seafoam candy here when it's dipped in chocolate. I'll have to try this!
I wondered what seafoam candy was, when I heard it on a US TV programme!
One of my fave childhood memories! :)
This looks amazing, but I have to ask, why NO HONEY?!? Honeycomb without honey?
In Michigan, USA we call it Sea Foam
What to use if golden syrup is not available?or can we prepare it only with sugar and soda?
Can I use honey instead of golden syrup
IT WORKED!!! Oh my god it worked! Thank you so much!!!
Does it smell very slightly burnt inside the honeycomb?
Looks super jummy!
yeiiiii!!! can't wait to see your Halloween recipes !!! :)
Mine is bit bitter :(. I wonder what I did wrong. May be bicarbonate of Soda hasn't dissolved properly?
i made it and it was really simple but amazing. tastes great :)
Can we make it with Honey instead Golden Syrup?
Coming to see you on Sunday xxxx
Love your recipes! Keep making videos!
nice!! but can I change the golden syrup with water or else? it's hard to find golden syrup.
Try using honey!
Ius and The Foods You can use liquid glucose or corn syrup, it says it in the description.
Cam we use honey instead of golden sugar?
christopher christian yes I did that successfully
@@queenb5659 for how long did you leave it cooking -I don't have thermometer tho-?
How long does the honeycomb stay fresh for? :) xx
Replace golden syrup with honey and it's actually the best thing ever
Maria G I’ll try it!

What is caster sugar? Is it granulated or powdered sugar?
interesting and satisfiying. can i mix it on choco chips cookies ?
dear Jemma, in mexico we don't have golden syrup, can it be substituted for honey or agave???
corn syrup, like Karo, would be a good substitution
