  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Creates the light, bubbly texture.
For the Chocolate Dip

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache dip) Use coconut cream for vegan option.

Equipment

  • Candy thermometer
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
  2. Bring the syrup to a boil, watching closely as it bubbles until it reaches a light amber color, around 300°F, about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda immediately; mixture will foam up.
  4. Pour the foamy mixture into a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
  5. Break into irregular pieces for serving.
  6. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate and heavy cream, stirring until melted and glossy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  7. Dip honeycomb pieces in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and place on a parchment-lined tray. Let set for about 30 minutes.
