🍯 Honeycomb Candy Recipe (Homemade Hokey Pokey Crunch)

Make golden, crunchy honeycomb candy at home with just 3 ingredients! Sweet, airy, and perfect for snacking or topping ice cream and desserts.

✨ Why You’ll Love This Honeycomb Candy

Honeycomb candy — also known as Hokey Pokey, Sponge Toffee, or Cinder Toffee — is a light, bubbly caramel treat that melts in your mouth with a satisfying crunch.

This easy 10-minute recipe uses only sugar, golden syrup, and baking soda to create that signature honeycomb texture you can use for snacking, decorating cakes, or mixing into ice cream (like the famous Hokey Pokey Ice Cream from New Zealand!).

🧂 Ingredients

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup (or light corn syrup if unavailable)
  • 1½ teaspoons baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Tools

  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • Measure your baking soda ahead — once you start cooking, things move fast!

Step 2: Cook the Sugar

  1. In a deep saucepan, combine sugar and golden syrup.
  2. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Once dissolved, stop stirring and allow the syrup to boil for 3–4 minutes, until it turns a deep golden amber color.

Step 3: Add Baking Soda

  1. Remove the pan from heat immediately.
  2. Whisk in baking soda — the mixture will foam up dramatically.
  3. Quickly pour the foamy mixture onto the prepared tray.
  4. Let it cool completely for 30–40 minutes.

Step 4: Break and Enjoy

  • Once hardened, crack the honeycomb into bite-sized pieces.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep it crisp.

🍫 Serving Ideas

  • Dip pieces in melted chocolate for a crunchy treat.
  • Crush and sprinkle over ice cream, cupcakes, or cheesecakes.
  • Use as a garnish for your Hokey Pokey Ice Cream or Chocolate Mousse.

💡 Tips for Perfect Honeycomb

  • Use a deep saucepan — the mixture expands a lot when baking soda is added.
  • Don’t overcook; a few seconds too long can burn the sugar.
  • Keep in a cool, dry place — humidity can make the candy sticky.

❓ FAQs

1. Can I use honey instead of golden syrup?
Yes, honey gives a slightly different flavor but works well as a substitute.

2. How long does honeycomb candy last?
Stored in an airtight container, it stays crisp for up to 2 weeks.

3. Why did my honeycomb collapse?
This happens if it’s stirred after adding baking soda or if too little soda was added — make sure to whisk quickly and pour immediately.
