Ingredients
2 tbsp white sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp baking soda
75g dark chocolate
1 tbsp chopped pistachio nuts
Method
- In
a small saucepan melt the sugar and golden syrup and boil
until it is a light caramel colour.
-
Remove from heat and add the baking soda, whisking to ensure
there are no lumps of soda. The mixture will froth up.
-
Pour mixture onto a baking mat and leave to cool.
-
Melt chocolate in a bain marie (put chocolate in a bowl
on top of a saucepan of boiling water) then pour over the
cold honeycomb.
-
Sprinkle the chopped pistachio nuts onto the chocolate while
it is still melted so that it sticks to the chocolate. When
the chocolate is set break into pieces and eat!
Needs
to be made an hour or so before you want to eat it. It will
keep in an airtight container for up to a day.
Can
be used as a petit four, or as a sweet treat when you need
one. Can also be folded into a dessert at the last minute,
but it will melt so if you do this it does need to be done
just before you are going to eat it.
