Home education: A golden syrup mini project

 
We love golden syrup, so much so, we did a mini project about golden syrup.
We found out about golden syrup is made.
We read the bible story featured on the tin.
 
 
We baked with golden syrup
 
 
We drew pictures of the tin.
 


 
And finally with made Crunchie!

Home made crunchie honeycomb

Today we made crunchie!

 In a pan, heat 4 tablespoons of golden syrup with 200g of sugar. We heated it very slowly to avoid burning. Bring to the boil and then simmer until the sugar has dissolved.

 To test if the honeycomb is ready, dip a small amount in cold water, 
if it sets solid, it's ready.

 
 The fun bit - add 3 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda
The mixture fizzes and this is how the honeycomb gets it's bubbles.
This gave us an opportunity to recap acids and alkalis.
Place the mixture in a tin lined with greaseproof paper.

Leave to set.

Break into pieces.

 We decorated the honeycomb with dark chocolate

Delicious!
'Can we make Kit Kat next week?' asks Reuben.
Watch out for more Home Sweet Holmes confectionery
