Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 125 g Unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp Golden syrup
- 100 g Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- 300 g Dark chocolate
- 1 tsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring there's an overhang for easy removal.
Place the digestive biscuits in a large resealable bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin, or pulse in a food processor. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
To make the honeycomb, combine the unsalted butter, caster sugar, and golden syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly whisk in the bicarbonate of soda. The mixture will foam up immediately. Pour the honeycomb mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper and let it cool completely before breaking into small chunks.
Reserve about 1/4 of the honeycomb chunks for topping and fold the remaining pieces into the biscuit crumbs.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each burst. Add the vegetable oil to the melted chocolate and mix until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the biscuit and honeycomb mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin, pressing it down evenly into the corners. Sprinkle the reserved honeycomb chunks on top, pressing them gently into the surface.
Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours, or until set. Once firm, use the parchment overhang to lift the slice out of the tin and cut into 12 squares or bars.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
