Salted Chocolate Honeycomb

A few weeks ago I made honeycomb butter to go with these fluffy Ricotta Hotcakes. Making my own batch of honeycomb was so easy and delicious that this week I decided to make another batch. This time, however, I dipped medium-sized chunks of honeycomb in exquisite dark chocolate and sprinkled them with sea salt. The result was a sweet mid-afternoon snack: Salted Chocolate Honeycomb.

Enjoy!

Salted Dark Chocolate Honeycomb

These honeycomb chunks dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt are the perfect treat for a busy afternoon. They are even better when dunked in coffee.

1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a saucepan, heat the sugar and honey over medium heat while stirring continuously until the sugar has melted.
3. Once the sugar has melted and the caramel reaches a golden amber colour, turn off the heat and quickly stir in the baking soda.
4. Continue to stir until the baking soda has completely dissolved and starts foaming.
5. Then pour the mixture onto the baking tray and set aside to cool. Once cooled, break the honeycomb into large chunks.
6. Place a small bowl filled with chocolate over a pot of simmering water and stir until melted.
7. Dip the honeycomb chunks into the melted chocolate and then place the dipped shards on parchment paper.
8. Finally, sprinkle with sea salt and let the chocolate set.
