Chocolate Honeycomb Slice Recipes

Steps:

• Butter a 20cm square tin. Mix the sugar and golden syrup in a deep saucepan over a gentle heat until the sugar has melted. Try not to let the mixture bubble until the sugar has completely dissolved.
• Turn up the heat a little and simmer until you have an amber coloured caramel (this won't take long). To test if it's ready, turn off the heat and drop a little into a glass of very cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it's ready. If not, turn the heat back on and cook a little more. Then, as quickly as you can, turn off the heat, tip in the bicarb and beat with a wooden spoon until it's disappeared and the mixture is foaming. Scrape into the tin immediately - be careful, the mixture will be very hot.
• Leave the honeycomb in the tin for 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins until hard (it will continue to bubble).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water.
• Snap the honeycomb into chunks and dip half of each piece into the chocolate. Drizzle with any remaining chocolate and a pinch of sea salt, if you like. Leave to set in the fridge for 1 hr.

Steps:

• Lightly grease an 18cm x 28cm slice pan. Line the base and two long sides with baking paper, extending paper 2cm over the pan edge.
• In a small saucepan, combine condensed milk and butter. Stir over a low heat for 2 - 3 minutes, until the butter has melted and the mixture is well combined.
• Transfer butter mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the crushed biscuits and 2/3 of the chopped violet crumbles. Press firmly into the prepared pan using a fork. Chill for 3 minutes, until firm.
• Melt chocolate and oil in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Pour over the slice. Sprinkle with remaining Violet Crumble. Chill for 25 minutes, until firm.
• Using a hot knife, cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
