Not cooking the hokey pokey for long enough can lead to it being sticky.

Tasted really good but it got stuck to the slice tin and i struggled to get it out, found it was also rather sticky. Had set completely. I think I may have cooked it too long or not long enough?

Jaida

It was so yum and the chocolate gave a great taste

Tui

Good recipe, works better with a tad less baking soda. Could also do with a temperature, or specific heats. 2 minutes boil will often only get you to a soft crack, or lower if you do more than one quantity.

Shawny

Great recipe, good to eat while and after making!

Bob

This stuff is so good I could eat it all day.

yum

We decided to use half the baking soda because of other people saying there's too much.

The result was fantastic but it is very hard to move so quickly with it! :)

Method

Grease the base and sides of a 20cm x 20cm slice tin with butter.

Place Chelsea White Sugar or Chelsea Caster Sugar and Chelsea Golden Syrup into a heavy-based saucepan. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.

Add the Edmonds Baking Soda and stir very quickly - the mixture will froth up rapidly.

Pour into prepared tin immediately. Leave until cold and set then break into pieces.

Coat hokey pokey pieces in melted chocolate for an extra special treat!
