Storage

Keep honeycomb in an airtight container for up to one week.

Preparation

When making honeycomb at home, use a heavy-based, deep-sided pan so that the melted sugar doesn鈥檛 burn or bubble over the sides of the pan when you add the bicarbonate of soda. Once you鈥檝e added the bicarbonate of soda, spread the honeycomb mixture over a lined non-stick baking sheet as quickly as possible, as it will soon start to set.

Eat honeycomb on its own, or stir pieces of it into ice cream batter and freeze. Alternatively, cover honeycomb pieces in melted chocolate and set aside until set, or crumble honeycomb over desserts such as sundaes.
