Honeycomb or Crunchie or cinder toffee

[SchiehallionHandmade]

Different names in different places but basically toffee with bicarbonate of soda to produce a volcanic mixture. 

 

The main problem of it is shelf life as it loves to absorb water and go sticky over time. 

 

Does anyone have any recipes or ingredients to add to assist this? I take my granulated sugar to 150c along with some trimoline rather than golden syrup then add the bicarb.

I coat mine in chocolate so it doesn't go sticky over time.

You can spray them with cocoa butter.

This is one product I love but can't be made everywhere. Here in the South at a normal 110% humidity I can make this and watch it go soft. It's crazy. Great confection but location dependent. Literally most toffee or brittle recipe will do. I always think that whoever created this was a brittle maker that had an accident. No need for golden syrup or trimoline.
