    glad you liked it

    as for the problem of it being a bit chewy it does need to be kept in a air tight container asap. Ive also seen another recipe where they miss out the golden syrup and use vinegar in it (which should suit you Cathy :))

    here goes :

    500g granulated sugar
    300ml water
    4 tbsp vinegar
    ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

    Exact same proccess for making it. I havent tried this one so I cant vouch for it.

    ........must try this but will have to wait until tomorrow - no granulated sugar. My Mum loves crunchie so I'll let her try it first ::) and it sounds delicious crumbled into icecream.
    I've just realised it's something else to dip into melted chocolate - that's what crunchie is after all. :D
