Honeycomb Slice
A sweet & crunchy honeycomb layer covered with melted chocolate; very addictive! Once you start you can't stop!
Ingredients
Honeycomb
- 1 1/2 cups 335g white sugar
- 1/2 cup 125ml honey
- 1/3 cup 80ml water
- 2 tbs golden syrup
- 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Base
- 1 packet arrowroot biscuits
- 200 g dark chocolate melted
- 1 tin condensed milk
Instructions
Making the Honeycomb
- Grease and line an oven tray with baking paper.
- Combine sugar, honey, water and golden syrup in a medium saucepan. Place over low heat and cook, stirring, occasionally brushing down side of the pan and spoon with a pastry brush dipped in water to remove any sugar crystals, for 5-7 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Cook, without stirring, for 5-7 minutes. Drop a ball of mixture into some cold water, if it becomes hard means it it ready. Remove from heat and set aside for bubbles to subside.
- Add the bicarbonate of soda and quickly stir with a wooden spoon until combined (mixture will bubble and foam). Pour onto the tray and set aside to cool completely.
Assembling the Slice
- Crush the arrowroot biscuits until large crumbs
- Add the condensed milk and mix together with the biscuits
- Chop up about 1/2 the amount of honeycomb and add to the mixture, combining well
- Press mixture into a lined Lamington tin
- Crush another 1 cup of honeycomb (or more if desired) and add this to the top of the mixture spreading evenly and pressing down slightly.
- Top the slice with the melted chocolate.
- Refridgerate and cut into squares (ensure the chocolate is not fully set or it will break apart when cutting).
Notes
This recipe will make a lot of honeycomb (you will probably not need this much for the slice)
