Super easy Honeycomb/Cinder Toffee recipe | Cupcake Jemma

[@amyatt25]

It's always a pleasure watching your videos. My 14 month old son absolutely loves them. He starts getting all excited when you start talking. It's very cute 😃

[@joewalker643]

Made some last week to a different recipe and it came out all flat and sticky. After a bit of a snope I found out it's because the recipe called for water to be added (the enemy of dry, crisp toffee). Just tried your recipe and it has come out fantastic. A lovely treat for bonfire night.

[@sabrinak.8386]

Am I the only one who instantly gets all excited whenever I see Jemma's video? It's always so exciting to see what she's gonna surprise us with! :D

[@carriehiggstunes]

Mine burnt before it reached 150, how do you get it to that temp without burning? I was stirring it, and had low until sugar melted

[@xOhayateOx]

I just tried it and worked out perfectly! ☺️ You can't buy honeycomb in my country so I'm very excited about this!

[@HobbitHanny]

In South Korea, this is the only candy that kids can make by themselves. We have a machine for this snack. If you put some coins into the machine, it gives you a small mount of sugar and there is a small heater, big spoon, baking soda and lollipop sticks. So every kids could make it easily in 5 minutes :) It reminds me of my childhood.

[@maxeenee]

Bilbo Baggins interesting!

[@LovetheLoveliness]

In Korea, it's been on of the most common street snack! but we flatten it down and then press a shake with a wire stick? then we carefully break them so that on the shape in the middle remains, don't know if you get the picture but it's really fun! and if you can get the shape without breaking, you get another on for free! you can type 'bbopki' or 'dagona if you want the picture :)

You my friend described something , that we rest of the world know now. Thankyou ❤️

[@Badger-01]

For the past two years I have made honey comb as Christmas stocking fillers. It always goes down a treat.

[@sops7763]

Oh dear..when i left it to the hard crack or 149c temp, it was too dark and tasted burnt. If i make this again i think ill take it off the heat before that stage. also has a weird bitter bicarb taste despite only using the exact measurements

[@theannoyingsidekick]

its very similar to Korean sugar candy thing called Dalgona. Dalgona is made only with sugar and baking soda and laid out in a thin round blob and isn't as airy.

[@muhdnajmibrz]

I think honeycomb is more delicious, but I love Dalgona because it's easy to make

[@yanicaslaurinda4640]

Wrong!!! Dalgona is made with water sugar and coffee

[@maplebun2290]

Yanicas Laurinda They are correct, you are thinking of Dalgona *coffee* .The original commenter is talking about the *candy* Dalgona! Search on KZbin Dalgona candy, and you’ll find it!

Hi, great video and energy from you. How do I do this without their being bitter clumps of bicarbonate in finished product? Any tips, very grateful.

[@tehzeebhazarika9615]

Hi jemma can I use honey instead of golden syrup

[@anneroos2885]

I made it right away, now waiting for it to cool I can't wait to find out how it tastes :3

[@ikhlasous]

Anne Roos Is it good ?

[@anneroos2885]

ikhlasous I made it with honey so it would taste a bit different I guess but I think it's really yummie

[@cloverhighfive]

My grandma made it with molasses ;) I'll definitely try to make some, my dad will go bonkers.

[@jillpritchard6037]

This Honeycomb is so good! I had lost my recipe that a carney man gave me in Massachusetts on the Boardwalk. I knew the ingredients but how much? Well, I had no clue as I hadn’t made it for a couple years. I just stumbled across this a couple days ago and made it earlier today and it was just awesome. Now I need to make some Vanilla Ice Cream and try to put the pieces of honeycomb in it after it has frozen when my maker calls for add-ins. I can’t wait. This would sure be a big hit for Christmas Bazaars! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes. They give me so many ideas 💡! I know how to bake and cook but when it comes to sending pics on Instagram, I’m helpless as a baker without a Kitchen aid mixer, 😂. Irish Jilli

[@mariameee9527]

love to my favourite KZbinr :* i have tried alot of your recipes and all turned out very yummy , totally delicious and presentable ♡ some of my favourites are carrot , chocolate , nutella , oreo , red velvet cupcakes and alot more I love the way you explain each step.. keep rocking you beauty :*

[@sarahmillson1594]

I don't have thermometer, is there any other way to understand when it's ready?

[@lisaspeirs8466]

Just made this recipe and can honestly say it was the easiest recipe I've tried and I've tried a couple the results were just as the video and I'll be giving this as a gift a xmas so huge thumbs up Jemma and the gang

[@lieserv]

I'd love to see how you make tiramisu cupcakes! 2 of my favourite desserts combined! 😍

[@ghadirissa4713]

I made iiiiiiiiit! It is sooo easy to make and it tastes delicious even more when dipped into any good quality milk chocolate! However, I really recommend to use a big deep pan when melting the sugar and the corn syrup because it's really going bing in volume when adding the bicarbonate of soda, whatch out! :)

[@m1racu10usedits6]

Did this twice exactly as it says with a thermometer to 149 degrees and it’s just really chewy! Not sure where I’m going wrong! X

[@Cardibeeh]

Yess and mine taste bitter :((

[@m1racu10usedits6]

@@Cardibeeh mine too! It ended up in the bin :( it’s like my 5th attempt I give up now haha

[@razali4773]

maybe your thermometer is off you should place it in boiling water to see if it reads 100C that way you will know if its accurate

[@rachel9933]

Oh my god that sound when you cracked it in half and it split so perfectly.....I need this right now! I last tried to make honeycomb about 3 years ago with my friend, which involved me dropping a knife into the mixture as I poured it into the tin and then pandemonium as we tried to get the knife out of the rapidly setting honeycomb...A lot of screaming and yelling lol. The end result was not like honeycomb, it didn't snap we were basically playing tug of war to try and break it. It was really stretchy and like tar in your mouth. Idk what the hell we did wrong but hopefully this time will be better! Going to make honeycomb ice cream whoop

[@rainbowunicorn3322]

Lol how do you drop a knife in the mixture? 😂

[@elenitsageorgieva1379]

So, just a couple of things, I used german golden syrup, it is much darker than the one you use. I don't know if that is the reason but the whole thing started burning before it reached 120C. It was giving off pufs of rancid smelling smoke and was foamin intensly. Anyway I added the soda, it turned a light colour, but most of the soda did not disolve, the mix didn't cool down fast enough and deflated. Now it is not airy, it is kind of bitter from the burnt sugat and salty form the soda. I'm trying honey next time.

[@ritatteles]

Can I use agave syrup or maple syrup instead? Would that work?

[@Lala-ug2yc]

Can you use maple syrup instead of corn syrup?

[@monrh6615]

I just made this, i ran out of corn syrup so i used like 30 grams of honey. Also y couldn't find my candy thermometer so i really apreciate that you showed how hardball stage looks like. Can't wait 4 it to cool down

[@nnnadski]

Can you add sea salt to it? Would it mess up the consistency etc?

[@rehanaraza5018]

Hii jemma.. can I use light corn syrup instead of golden corn syrup..?? Please advice.... thanks..

[@marieince3239]

I cup sugar 3tblpoons golden syrup stir bfore you put the heat on then heat to boiling point put 1 and a half teaspoons of bicarb stir like crazy it foams up then pour on baking sheet easy peasy

Does it smell very slightly burnt inside the honeycomb?

[@WickedWordzz]

So there are soooooo many different recipies. I have it down to a few. Question, some use less golden syrup than sugar, and this one uses equal parts. How big is the difference in texture, taste, etc. This will be my first time making it

What to use if golden syrup is not available?or can we prepare it only with sugar and soda?

Do you think it would work nicely, if I put a little bit of orange extract into the mix?

[@Adwoaness]

cant wait till I visit your shop!

[@holliemcintyre3118]

Just a tip I think should've been included. If you make this then make sure to have a kettle of boiling water ready to pour into the empty pan to clean it out. Otherwise you may as well chuck the pan in the bin.

[@Haileye90]

You can always soak the pan in warm water later and it will still dissolve. After all, it's only sugar really.

[@holliemcintyre3118]

It's the hot golden syrup that causes the issue.

[@Haileye90]

Golden syrup is just another form of sugar. It's still water soluble.

[@rainbowunicorn3322]

Lol that’s what I was thinking

[@shiny4191]

We call this sponge candy in the US. It originated in my home town, Buffalo NY!

wow It is same way to make korean traditional snack which is called 'dal go na'. I think It has been make for long time ago. I didnt know same stuff in other country. and I'm suprised london is autumn because korea where I live in is also about to be autumn.

[@dasargilamauloeapa]

interesting and satisfiying. can i mix it on choco chips cookies ?

[@farrasramadhan8267]

can I subtitute the golden syrup with corn syrup or honey?

[@carna110]

she wrote liquid glucose or corn syrup as other options in the description. Honey is also used in other honeycomb recipes so I don't see why not, it may just taste a little different.

[@uwu8130]

Farras Ramadhan with honey yes

[@maddymaddy6463]

Hey jemma i just tried this recipe still cooling down but i feel this might be the best recipe as i tried 3 different recipes back to back but results varies! Will definately share feedback once its completely cool

[@hmpelinghe5430]

can i use high fructose corn syrup?

[@Dave79-be7ld]

What did I do wrong? Followed your recipe and it cooled to a chewy toffee. The only thing I didn’t have was a thermometer. I’m thinking the temperature wasn’t right. I let it boil aggressively like yours. Any advise is welcome. I feel rather silly failing at this 😂

[@adalahi]

dear Jemma, in mexico we don't have golden syrup, can it be substituted for honey or agave???

[@kimberlycoyle274]

corn syrup, like Karo, would be a good substitution

[@marsamet128]

+Kimberly Noles I don't have corn syrup.

[@annadeak733]

In Hungary, we use honey instead of golden/corn syrup, and it works perfectly! We call it "Turkish honey", and it was one of my favourite sweets during my childhood. It's still very popular at village fairs.

[@macaoron]

Jemma has said in the description box to use liquid glucose or corn syrup. However, I pulled up some other recipes online that uses honey. The amount of honey is reduced, since it is much thinner than golden syrup or corn syrup.

[@KristinaLakey]

I made this and am now woefully addicted. Oh my!

[@anujasha9]

Mine is bit bitter :(. I wonder what I did wrong. May be bicarbonate of Soda hasn't dissolved properly?

[@devKazuto]

How do you clean your sugar thermometer? Do you just throw it in the dish washer or do you clean it by hand?

[@nicoleschonfelder798]

Sugar dissolves in water - just pour some hot water on it.

[@devKazuto]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@LatteBrown]

I made this recipe using pancake syrup...what a fail! I think that I stirred it too much after adding the baking soda, I added a bit of vanilla favoring, and then I put mini chocolate chips on my pan before pouring in the candy batter. It shrunk down. and it was slow at hardening so I cut it into strips and placed it in the freezer to totally cool and maybe crunch up. Mine didn't turn out airy and crunchy, but it is sooo good! After the initial crunch from being stored in the freezer, it become sticky like taffy in my mouth. Oh my this mistake turned out wonderful, can't stop eating. Next time I'm going to stick to the recipe to find out how it should have been. Thanks

If we didn't have a thermometer could we still make this?

It becomes hit or miss without a thermometer. If it doesn't get to the right temperature or gets too hot, then it doesn't come out right. Too soft or too hard.

I live in the NW, and it's kept in the baking aisle with the corn syrup, molasses, etc. Look for Lyle's. Or just use light corn syrup. The Lyle's definitely tastes better, though!
