An easy recipe/science experiment that can be covered with chocolate to replace a cadburys crunchie.

All you need is

4 tablespoons Sugar
2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
2 teaspoons Water
1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda

Melt the Sugar and syrup in the water in a pan until it disolves then whack the heat up and boil it for about 6 to 7 mins

Then add the bicarbonate of soda and quickly stir it in and pour into a greased baking tin

Mark into pieces while still warm

This is also rather yummy broken into pieces and stirred into vanilla icecream.

Dont blame me when the dentist bills mount up !!

its great the old fart has had his teeth stuck together since 7 oclock

I thought Id gone deaf at first

;D ;D


its very chewy what did i do wrong

mtgnnr

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.
