By Robert Campbell – Master Baker OX RABBIT

A crunchy tasty OX RABBIT take on Honeycomb in time to treat your Dad this Father’s Day… or yourself & the best bit… just 4 ingredients. 

Ingredients:

• 300g White sugar

Required: 

• Large saucepan 
• 20x30cm Lined baking tray 
• 1x Microwavable bowl

Method:

1.  Heat the golden syrup over a low heat in the saucepan until it becomes a thin liquid. 
2. Add in the sugar and stir into the melted golden syrup over a low heat until all the sugar granules have completely dissolved. 
3. Turn the heat up to medium and watch carefully for the colour of the mixture to change into a dark amber. Once it’s a dark amber in colour, the mix is almost at a rolling boil.
