You're absolutely right. It's so underated! Growing up in the Gulf, it was all over the place. Now that I've moved to India, nobody even knows what it is! I'm definitely going to make this. Thank you.

[@alli9133]

The cereal box hack is brilliant!

[@ericblack1127]

For Americans (I had to look all this stuff up for myself, here's what I found) Bicarbonate of Soda = Baking Soda Caster Sugar = Regular Sugar Ground in a Food Processor for a few minutes Golden Syrup = No equivalent, but Corn Syrup can be substituted

[@JessJeans]

You can also use Liquid Glucose (You can get it at Michaels/ AC Moore etc)

[@mullenio4200]

Great vid. Really handy tips and tricks and adding chocolate... Genius.

[@utubeginny]

Thank you - really helpful video as i had made this 3 times previously and failed - with your instructions it was a winner i used 200g castor sugar 60ml water 5 tbsp syrup - the temp is the key!!!

[@ThisWithThem]

GINNY HARROP so pleased to hear I could help!! So pleased it worked for you this time. Enjoy them 😋

[@catliath5384]

I think of crunchie as a summer treat, since we only got them when we went back to ireland to visit the granny in July or August…

[@clairhall3486]

This looks so good and I loved trying the crunchie bar for myself from the candy box I received. Yummy.

[@almatorres634]

Looks delicious!! 🤗 how i wish i could put my hand inside the screen and take out all those delicious desserts that you make... you are amazing!! 😊

[@ThisWithThem]

Thank you Alma!! I wish you could too because these are absolutely delicious! Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment ♥️

A Really Good Video And Sweet Review All The Best.

[@ziasajan9064]

Hi Kate loved your video. I am really excited about making this. I just want to know which sugar thermometer do you use? I'd really appreciate it if you could put up a link for it or maybe tell the brand name or something. Thanks. xoxo

[@jessicadealmeida1891]

thanks for posting this. I love crunchie bars and dont get them in the U.S.!

[@malinoisamericanakita2022]

Hi Katie , in the 1980s they used to sell strawberry honeycomb milk choc covered candy bars and they were so nice . like a hardened mouse like honey comb texture in them . but pink strawberry i have no idea if it was sort of Meringue . but trying to find these candy bars now is impossible x I need to make those as well as these . thankyou for sharing .

[@kristinamarie3230]

I love this Kate! I can't wait to make this for the Holidays this year!! Thank you!!

[@ThisWithThem]

Yaay thank you Kristina! I hope you enjoy making them! They really are delicious 😍

[@murtlesmcmurray2132]

Great video. I watched it a couple of times but you never mention the bicarbonate of soda which is what makes the sugar mixture go foamy. I'm heading off to make some honeycomb now 😁

[@signnamesparkle]

The white powder she adds at 1:57 is the bicarb

[@ndilisweli1644]

She is stupid for not telling us then. We knew everything else 💔

[@sarabhichogley5609]

I was also wondering what the white powder was, then I watched the video 10 times to see if I missed her saying Bicarbonate of Soda.

[@carmensmith9220]

Very good video, but it's tricky not to mention the secret ingredient.

[@mrmo7818]

Tje secret ingredient is LOVE🙂

[@fulluvjoy229]

Greetings from the USA! I just discovered your channel and am so glad I did. I hope I can find the ingredients to make this. Thank you. P. S. I've subscribed to your channel and Liked your FB page.

[@hafizulla1148]

That is so so good

[@roger55es]

Impressive well presented hope with a turron fudge base would be fantastic

[@hafizulla1148]

So good

[@prakashsaini9400]

Wow, looks so crunchy and delicious, I will definitely try, thanks for sharing

[@natasharadinow]

yuuuum crunchie is my fave too ! xxx

[@divinekraven6131]

Yummy one of my favourite

[@Onekitchenblogfood]

I tried crunchies for the first time this year.... they are absolutely yummy!

[@ThisWithThem]

No way!! So pleased you loved it! It's definitely one of my faves ☺️

[@tonoavail9757]

Hi Kate! Great recipe as always! You are my favourite baking channel! I am sorry if I missed it, but what temperature is the hard crack stage? Thank you! 😀😀

[@ThisWithThem]

Hey ☺️ thank you so much! That really does mean a lot. Oh sorry, i didn't actually say the temp as it usually says hard crack on a sugar thermometer but just incase yours doesn't it needs to reach 300ºF which is also about 149ºC Enjoy making ☺️

[@tonoavail9757]

InTheKitchenWithKate Hi Kate, I hope you can help me! I tried to make the honeycomb today, and it looked exactly like yours in the video, however, I could smell burning sugar but it hadn’t reached the hard crack stage on my thermometer and when I added the bicarbonate of soda it was still very dark, so I think I may have burnt the sugar, do you have any tips of what I can do next time to avoid this? Thank you very much! 😄

[@geoffdundee]

@@tonoavail9757 ........you can burn the sugar if you dont mix all the ingredients together properly....usually happens if you have small pockets of sugar that havent dissolved fully with the wet ingredients - when combined properly you shouldnt have to stir it anymore untill youre adding bicarb............also a flat bottom heavy pan is best - medium heat even temperature is best......raise it to hard crack gradually - if heats too hot it will cause sugar to darken too fast and make the finished puff taste bitter.........you can add some vanilla extract/flavouring at same time as bicarb but mix it all well and pour quickly........always be very very careful using boiled sugar as it can burn your skin severely...........keep kids out the kitchen too.

[@prestigewolf134]

i love cadbury crunchies

[@nxtrar6430]

I also love London but I love their desserts even more

[@ThisWithThem]

hehe me too!!

[@user-us7qb1yn2r]

I'm going to try this, I thought I'd share with you that I had some crunchie millionaires shortcake from the market a while ago. There is so much you can do with crunchie bars.

We always called them angel wings... Don't know why. We make this at Christmas.( North Dakota cook) World Market sells golden syrup or find it on line. I love it on ice cream

[@leelovesfood9129]

Having that with a cup of tea... Oh yeah!

[@ThisWithThem]

Oh yes!!!! One of the best ways to enjoy it!!!! 😍

[@i.canbeauty]

I LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE honeycomb! But I can never seem to get them quite right when I make them myself🤔🤔

[@ThisWithThem]

Me too!! It's so delicious isn't it!! Ahh no way! Give this a go and let me know if you have any issues! You can always message me on my Instagram InTheKitchenWithKate if you need more help. I will probably reply quicker there! ☺️

How do we store it?

[@elvishards8161]

The cereal box is a great idea

[@jodirandazzoconley4437]

Hello,liked your recipe but what is golden syrup?Love watching your tasting with your brother.

[@ThisWithThem]

Hey!! Thank you. It's a thick sweet sugar syrup. Apparently you can get it in some stores in the US now. Yay thank you i'm glad you love watching them 😀

[@pearmanfb]

Florida Flower here is a video on how to make it yourself, too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaSseZ-Mbrlkbbc

[@vikijacobs9]

In America you use dark corn syrup instead, you can also use honey

[@pandalover665]

I have the EXACT pig spatula it is my favorite spatula!

[@kimhollenbeck6954]

That honeycomb treat with chocolate on top of it and I used to eat it when I was a child but as an adult I have had type 2 diabetes since 2012 and I can no longer eat this treat.Unless it can be made for diabetics then I can make this treat and eat it

[@mayamaya-ry3eg]

Hi! Can i add honey in this?

[@kaseyharding3024]

Can you use honey instead of syrup?

[@gillianhowatson6339]

yummy 😋

[@davidgarcia01234]

Hi, I'm going to try to make this but I have one question what is golden syrup? I live in the USA. Is that corn syrup? Thanks 😎

[@cartoonhead840]

David Garcia I don’t think it’s sane thing. Google lyles golden syrup

[@prestigewolf134]

love ya

[@carolynmiller3254]

I just made it but mine wasn't that dark and the foam was thin with big bubbles instead of thick with small so is if it will work

[@mayenedide8783]

please, what was the last thing you added before whisking?

[@gigicedo4909]

mayen edide bicarbonate soda

[@leonorafourie8714]

Also known as baking soda.

[@mtaylor9055]

I read that as Whiskey instead of whisking, and I thought you came up with an adult version ha!

[@promenadeable]

when we were kids we used to call them "sponge toffee"

[@iijellygaming9996]

Hi! Is there a way to tell what's the "hard crack" temperature because I don't own a sugar thermometer :(

[@jennyl2130]

If you dont have a thermometer take a class of very cold water ,then take some of the honeycombe out of the pot ,about a tablespoon .Drop it in the water ,if it brakes in the water then it,s ready to put in the pan .

[@sheruuu5935]

Hey Kate, What if I want a honey flavoured crunchie and go for 150ml of honey instead of golden syrup?

[@sheruuu5935]

Also, for extra flavour can I put some butter in it? If so, how much do you suggest I should put?

[@geoffdundee]

@@sheruuu5935 ............no butter

[@Tresmenguitos]

can I add some salt to it?

[@yousraladj4694]

Awesome recipe but can i replace golden syrup by honey , cause i don't think we have it here in Algeria , i really want to try it

[@ThisWithThem]

you can but the honey will definitely change the taste. I've not eaten it with honey so I can't guarantee it will taste good sorry but i hope it works for you! Let me know if you do try it! ☺️

[@salpat51]

Hi i tied it but my woz very bitter dnt know wot I did wrong?

[@ghinak317]

Because of baking soda

[@deanawells4395]

I made this last weekend with peanut butter and burned my thumb with the sugar and it was worth my burn

[@PoisonedQuillWriting]

Mine did just not go crunchy :(

[@joyy-oppong]

Im trying this. Ill let u guys know how it went ❤️

[@ThisWithThem]

Hope it goes well ☺️

[@zachperez8937]

[@tinahoey5914]

Ah your so sweet, I’m gonna try this

[@grace.g2441]

What is golden syrup in America?

[@ThisWithThem]

Hey! So lots of people say you don't have golden syrup in the US but i've also heard a few people that say you do but you can either find it in the baking isle or the international isles?! Apparently you have a brand in the US that has been around since 1928?! I'll attach a forum to this comment where people have discussed making honeycomb in the US so you can read. Apparently corn syrup doesn't work for honeycomb but its the substitute in different recipe so i can't guarantee it will work sorry! Hopefully you can find some golden syrup! If not maybe try honey but it will definitely change the taste, sorry! Hope this helps ☺️ .... cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/43920/what-is-the-us-equivalent-of-golden-syrup-uk

[@supergenkilife]

InTheKitchenWithKate While living in Japan (no readily-available golden syrup), I always made honeycomb with honey. It set up just fine. In America, King's Golden Syrup is available either with the table syrups or on the baking aisle with the corn syrup. It's an invert syrup (golden syrup) made with corn syrup as one ingredient. Available in dark and light versions.

[@margaretl7895]

I believe corn syrup will sub, although it will taste slightly less rich.

[@sierraschiffer7235]

in western New York we call honeycomb with chocolate Sponge Candy

[@sierraschiffer7235]

whats golden syrup?

[@leonorafourie8714]

It's corn syrup.

[@nabirubel9680]

এটা আমার খুব ভালো লেগেছে

[@flowermoon3047]

I tried the recipe but it wasnt hard when it cooled down . It's still bending . What might be wrong . But it was sweet no bitterness

[@geoffdundee]

Flower Moon .......you must use a sugar thermometer and get it boiling to the correct temprature otherwise you have soft sponge candy.

[@jaimecoutanche5977]

Better if cut into rectangles first then you could cover more of the chocolate and bain marie the chocolate, microwave chocolate is just wrong and good quality chocolate

[@ThisWithThem]

Hey Gina. The the full list of weights and ingredients are in the description box.

[@leeizazombie3628]

Am I the only one betting bits of baking soda all around inside it?

[@ThisWithThem]

Try using a whisk to mix it in. It should help break it up more. Maybe give the Baking soda a whisk first as well incase it’s clumped up a bit. Hope this helps

[@leeizazombie3628]

@@ThisWithThem thanks for the reply, I'm using a nylon whisk and after another try I've even thoroughly stirred and to no luck I still find spots of it inside, maybe the metal whisk will make the difference?
