Ingredients

  • 150 g Golden syrup
  • 400 g Caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp Bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

  • Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Put the golden syrup and caster sugar in a large saucepan and place over a medium heat. As they melt, stir them together, but once combined leave to heat without stirring.
  • Put your thermometer in the pan and when the mixture has reached 150℃/302F, and is bubbling very hard, sprinkle over the bicarbonate of soda and take the pan off the heat.
  • You will need to work quickly here: beat the mixture until it starts to foam, then pour it onto the lined baking tray and leave for 1-2 hours to fully harden. Be careful, it will be VERY hot.
  • Cut or break into the bite-sized pieces.
