How to make your own crunchie!

July 22, 2011 by Katie Bryson

Thank Crunchie it’s friday, the sun came out today AND it’s the start of the holidays – hooray! (I’m sure I won’t be saying that mid-way through August when i’ve run out of activity ideas, but hey)

To celebrate i’ve made home-made crunchie – aka honeycomb. I’ve been meaning to make it for AGES and finally got round to it when thinking what ice cream to make.

This is too easy to make - could be dangerous!

You would not believe how simple this is to create. I mean properly EASY. I’m going to bash mine up into smithereens with a rolling pin and throw it in the ice cream maker with a tub of fresh vanilla custard. But you could scatter it over desserts or perhaps just straight into your mouth!

Honeycomb

80g butter
160g caster sugar
80g golden syrup
2 tsp bicarb soda
baking sheet 20cm x 20cm or similar 

1. Grease the baking sheet thoroughly with vegetable oil. Put the butter, sugar and syrup into a medium sized pan and melt over a gentle heat. Turn up the heat to medium and allow the mixture to bubble for a few minutes without stirring until it turns golden brown.

2. Add the bicarb of soda stirring until the mixture froths up then immediately pour into your greased baking sheet. Leave to cool and harden up.

3. Use a sharp knife to cut it into chunks – once you’ve got the first bit out it’s much easier to prise from the tin!

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
