Known to Brits as honeycomb, cinder toffee in the US and hokey pokey in New Zealand and Australia. Whatever you call it, this light and sweet product is made from aerating cooked sugar to give the distinctive bubbly texture.
Eating honeycomb is always a nostalgic treat, but making golden honeycomb can be a tricky process. Our clever production teams need to add just the right amount of heat to create the beautiful golden colour, subtle toffee flavour and well known crunch of this nostalgic favourite.
OUR HONEYCOMB RANGE
Our honeycomb products come in a range of sizes to suit different uses, from 2-5mm up to 6-15mm. They can be barrier coated for use as inclusions or toppings for ice cream or artisan bakery products.
Why not add a touch of decadence and luxury by opting for bronze dusted milk chocolate honeycomb pieces? Perfect for creating showstopping toppings to cakes and bakes or to make honeycomb sweets.
Did you know that honeycomb is a naturally vegan product? It contains no animal products as there’s no real honey involved in making it - so it’s a great sticky, sweet treat if you’re following a plant-based diet.
TOFFEECOMB® - A UNIQUE OV PRODUCT
Over at OV Confection by Design in Harrogate, UK, the team have created an innovative new product called Toffeecomb®, made using 25% less sugar than our classic honeycomb and with a richer and deeper flavour.
Business Development Manager Andrew Lofthouse explains: “The flavour that comes from honeycomb is very delicate – it’s not a heavy hit. But in toffee you’ve got the dairy aspect – so it’s very creamy, buttery. So we’ve now created an aerated toffee where you’re getting all that buttery, creamy flavour but still with the aerated crunch of honeycomb.”
