Honeycomb Brittle Recipes

Steps:

• Grease an 8-inch square cake pan. Fill a bowl with cold water.
• Bring sugar and golden syrup to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until a small amount of syrup dropped into the water turns brittle, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat and carefully add baking soda; stir quickly until foaming subsides and mixture turns golden. Pour into prepared cake pan. Cool until set, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size chunks to serve.

Steps:

• Butter a 20cm square tin. Stir the caster sugar and golden syrup together in a deep saucepan over a gentle heat until the sugar has melted. Try not to let the mixture bubble until the sugar grains have disappeared.
• Once completely melted, turn up the heat a little and simmer until you have an amber coloured caramel (this won't take long), then as quickly as you can, turn off the heat, tip in the bicarbonate of soda and beat in with a wooden spoon until it has all disappeared and the mixture is foaming. Scrape into the tin immediately - be careful, the mixture will be very hot.
• The mixture will continue bubbling in the tin, simply leave it and in about 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins the honeycomb will be hard and ready to crumble or snap into chunks.

Steps:

• Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Bring sugar, honey, and water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees.
• Remove from heat, and whisk in baking soda just until combined and mixture bubbles.
• Gently pour mixture onto baking sheet without spreading. Let cool.
• Break into pieces.
• Brittle can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup water; stir so that sugar is wet. Place mixture over high heat and cook, without stirring, until it turns dark amber in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Carefully whisk in baking soda, followed by salt; mixture will rise and bubble. Using a wooden or metal spoon, fold in cashews. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet, spreading in an even 1/2-inch-thick layer using back of the spoon. Let cool completely.
• Break brittle into bite-size pieces using a mallet or the back of a heavy knife. Brittle can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Bring sugar, honey, and water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-high.
