Gather the Magical Ingredients

To create your Honeycomb Hapjes with a magical twist, you'll need the following ingredients: 200g golden syrup, 200g caster sugar, 1 tablespoon of magical fairy dust (optional but highly recommended), 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, 2 and a half teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda.

2

Prepare for the Spellbinding Process

Before you dive into the recipe, make sure you have all the necessary equipment at hand: a large heatproof bowl, a wooden spoon, a saucepan, a baking tray, and a magical wand (or a regular whisk will do just fine).

3

Create the Sweet Melody of Honeycomb

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the golden syrup, caster sugar, and a sprinkle of magical fairy dust. Stir the mixture gently with your wooden spoon, and let it bubble away for about 5-7 minutes or until it turns into a beautiful golden caramel.

4

Add a Pinch of Enchantment

Once the caramel mixture reaches the desired golden color, remove it from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract. The aroma of vanilla will instantly bring a touch of magic to the honeycomb. Make sure the vanilla is well combined before moving on to the next step.

5

Unleash the Magic of Bicarbonate of Soda

It's time for the most exciting part - adding the bicarbonate of soda! Sprinkle the bicarbonate of soda evenly over the caramel mixture and quickly whisk it in using your magical wand (or regular whisk). Watch as the mixture begins to froth and expand, like a bubbling cauldron!

6

Craft Your Honeycomb Hapjes

While the honeycomb is still hot and bubbling, carefully pour it onto a lined baking tray. Spread it out to your desired thickness, but be careful not to touch the hot mixture - it's molten magic! Allow it to cool and set for about 1 hour.

7

Break the Spell and Enjoy

Once the honeycomb has hardened, it's time to break it into enchanting bite-sized pieces. Snap the honeycomb into irregular shapes, just like the mysterious forests of Hansel & Gretel. Your magical Honeycomb Hapjes are now ready to be devoured!
