Honeycomb Slice

A sweet & crunchy honeycomb layer covered with melted chocolate; very addictive! Once you start you can't stop!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes

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

Method
 

Making the Honeycomb
  1. Grease and line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  1. Crush the arrowroot biscuits until large crumbs
  2. Add the condensed milk and mix together with the biscuits
  3. Chop up about 1/2 the amount of honeycomb and add to the mixture, combining well
  4. Press mixture into a lined Lamington tin
  5. 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.
  6. Top the slice with the melted chocolate.
  7. 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)
