Great light dessert, didn't bother with making the honeycomb as struggled to get it right in the past so used 3 Crunchie bars as suggested! Delicious

A really quick and easy dessert to make. I'll use half dark and half milk chocolate next time as it was a bit too sweet for me.

I made this Christmas day - and it went down a treat. I made 3 batches of honeycomb in the end to get it right. The 1st on I took off the heat too early and it ended up looking like a caramac bar. The second was great but I made it days in advance and it changed texture - I'm assuming I didnt cover it correctly.
It was truly yummy :-)

I have used this about 6 times now for different audiences and it works a treat every time

I have not made the chocolate part of this recipe, but refer back to it everytime I want to make honeycomb as this is the lightest and best honeycomb recipe I've ever tried (and I've tried a few!). I'm sure the chocolate pot is lovely too (chocolate and double cream being a winner there) but I normally cover the honeycmb in Dairy Milk chocolate. Devine!

I made this for friends (1 wheat intollerant) who were coming for dinner. I knew I had a busy day so I made it about 7 hours ahead but didn't mix the honeycomb in. I served it in a mix of vintage tea cups and put some of those chocolate crisps (look like chocolate pringles) on the saucer. Really pretty, they raved about it!

I have never made a chocolate mousse before but made it today for my Mum, and it went down a treat. Recommend for any novice cook that wants to impress friends and family...

Made this last weekend for my family and only noticed as I had almost finished that it shouldn't be made too far in advance because the honeycomb dissolves. However, the melted honeycomb went down a treat. Delicious and simple to make and it's been requested as a dessert again this weekend.

Made it with crunchies - so easy and delicious!

I made the mousse and added Crunchie bars instead of making the honeycomb. It was very easy to make, and tasted lovely.

Dead easy... honey went down really quick.... had to make a second batch

Made this for a very short notice dinner party last night - I had an hour, so no time to set. Obviously I stuck it in the freezer... and was amazed at the results! It was that little bit colder, but still a touch gooey - which was actually lovely. Crunchy bars work wonders. I served them in wine glasses, the guests couldn't get enough. I will definitely try the less rushed version next time - home made honeycomb, and might even leave it to set. But nice to know I can whip it up at the very last minute and it will still be fab.

Ridiculously easy. The honeycomb worked amazingly well, and makes for an impressive touch. I added an extra teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda (just to be sure!) then (as suggested above) I left it to cool in a deep roasting dish-type tray.

i used crunchie bars and it worked really well!

Just made the honeycomb, came out beautifully. I waited until the mixture was a golden brown colour and then took of the heat and added the bicarbonate. I made a few batches to perfect it. The key seems to be to use level rather than heaped tbsp of golden syrup (this is easier if you use the squeezy bottle) and keep the mixture quite deep when placing it in the tray so lots of air bubbles.

May try making my own crunchie bars next time!

I will be adding the honeycomb to my own recipe for chocolate mousse as I cant eat raw eggs.

My mousse went lumpy and didn't set- however I think this may have been my personal failings as a novice cook!! tasted delicious though- served in wine glasses. friends couldn't get enough of my gooey mess. Any hints on how to improve next time round?

Fantastic recipe! The honeycomb was a hit!
Thank you

I used a sugar themometer at 310deg (hard crack) took it off the heat whisked in the bicarb and poured right away. It carried on frothing in the baking tray. Worked a treat.

I made this with a chocolate orange and some milk chocolate to give it a orange taste. Was lovely and not too rich and it was so simple to make too.
