How to Make Honeycomb Candy Hokey Pokey Nigella Lawson

  1. Line a baking sheet with silicone baking paper. Set aside.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup water. Gently stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Do not stir from this point on; instead, gently swirl the pan occasionally.
  4. Cook, without stirring, until the mixture turns a deep amber color and reaches the hard-crack stage (approximately 300°F/150°C on a candy thermometer). Bubbles will be vigorously rising.
  5. Remove from heat immediately. Carefully add 2 teaspoons of baking soda and whisk vigorously with a heat-resistant spatula (the mixture will foam up significantly).
  6. Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared silicone liner, spreading it thinly and evenly.
  7. Let the honeycomb cool and harden completely for at least 15 minutes, before breaking it into large pieces.
  8. Break into irregular pieces and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
