Our honeycomb products are a big favourite. There’s something quite unique about the crunchy honeycomb taste that is so very moreish! And, not only does it taste delicious, it cracks and pops as you eat it. So, if you’re looking to buy honeycomb, our range includes traditional uncoated honeycomb, Carob coated – both milk and soy, and no added sugar (NAS) carob.
Honeycomb is a popular treat around the world. Other names include honeycomb toffee, sponge toffee, hokey pokey, cinder toffee, puff candy and dalgona. In New Zealand, honeycomb is known as hokey pokey. It’s also the name they give a popular ice-cream flavour: vanilla ice cream mixed with small honeycomb pieces. The most popular mass-produced examples are the Crunchie bar from Cadbury in the UK and Australia’s Violet Crumble.
We make our own lovely honeycomb here in our factory. Although the recipe is quite simple, the skill is to create a consistent product. Therefore, maintaining the correct temperature is crucial to its success. Essentially, the ingredients are castor sugar, golden syrup, and bicarbonate of soda. It’s the addition of the bi-carb during heating that helps create bubbles and a honeycomb-like structure. While the mixture is still hot, we roll it out to cool on trays. Once it’s cooled, we can then break it up and add it to a tumbling machine that creates the consistent shapes ready for coating. Finally, it’s off the coating area to be drenched in a variety of delicious Carob coatings. Our Honeycomb range of products includes honeycomb pieces, honeycomb chip, honeycomb powder and honeycomb syrup. Customers can buy honeycomb direct from our onsite shop or via our website.
