Chocolate Honeycomb Tiffin: Sticky Sweet Treats
Sweet, crunchy, sticky, coma inducing treats that are incredibly moreish. This easy no-bake recipe for chocolate honeycomb squares even includes a few Maltesers. You can make your own honeycomb or buy some in. The choice, as they say, is yours.
Well I’m sure most of you will have heard of the French TV pastry chef Eric Lanlard and Baking Mad. Even I have heard of both him and the programme and I don’t have a television. The Baking Mad website is full of recipe ideas as well as tips, tricks and competitions. I was asked to choose a recipe from this site and make it. Chocolate honeycomb squares it had to be.
Well, goodness me, there were so many recipes to choose from I was a little overwhelmed. First off, I typed in the keyword chocolate. Perhaps not surprisingly dozens of recipes issued forth. With a little thought I narrowed my chocolate search down to Eric’s recipes. Seeing as I was going to make something from the site, I reckoned it may as well be one of his. This gave me a more reduced choice.
After that it was plain sailing. I had no problems selecting which one to make because chocolate honeycomb squares leapt out and grabbed my attention. I’ve sort of had honeycomb on the brain recently. I’ve just reviewed some delicious hokey pokey. Then Chele over at the Chocolate Teapot made some followed by Kath over at the Ordinary Cook. I was just looking for the excuse to make a batch of my own and now I’d found it.
Chocolate Honeycomb Tiffin
Actually, when I looked at the recipe properly, I realised it used Maltesers rather than honeycomb. What the heck, much as I love Maltesers, I wanted honeycomb. I followed Chele’s recipe for the honeycomb and it looked fine when I poured it out. It was bubbly and the right colour. But when I went to bash it into bits I found it was sticky and chewy and not in the least bit crunchy. Easily defeated I trudged off to buy some Maltesers.
I ended up making half the quantity and adjusting the topping decoration somewhat. It’s just as well or we’d have eaten even more of these chocolate honeycomb squares than we did. If, like me, you have a weakness for tiffin, click on the link to find other recipes of mine you might like. I’m warning you now, I have a few.
Indulgent is the best word for these chocolate honeycomb tiffin squares. They are sweet, crunchy, sticky, coma inducing treats, but so very moreish. They reminded CT of Middle Eastern sweets, not so much in flavour but as sticky flavoursome bites.
I melted some orange flavoured dark chocolate to drizzle over the top. You can use whatever flavour you like, but I sort of think that plain is probably best. There’s so much going on already with both honeycomb and Maltesers. Although it has to be said, I was surprised at how much the orange flavour stood out, especially as so little of the dark chocolate actually made it onto the top.

Nic – noooo, don’t have one of those 🙁
Kim – so even more temptation for you 😉
Haha, I love the description of ‘coma inducing’! These look so delicious, I absolutely love chocolate and honeycomb. Didn’t realise there was a Baking Mad website, I’ve just had a quick look and looks brilliant!
I can feel a sugar induced coma coming on just by looking at those!
Manu – thank you
WLM – I’d probably be doing you more of a favour if I didn’t 😉
Cake Fairy – me too. Will have to try again and hope it’s more successful next time.
Dom – ah yes, I’d forgotten teh cinder toffee appellation – great name.
Kath – he he, it didn’t look to bad, it’s just it wasn’t crunchy.
Johanna – thank you for your words of encouragement 🙂
A Trifle Rushed – thank you.
Nom – thank you. It’s quite addictive, I’d like some more too!
Kate – mmm, not sure how satisfying that might be, but hey!
Karen – you’re right, the honeycomb smells wonderful.
Chele – interested to know what you think of his book and which one it is?
HungryHinny – thank you. Seem to have problems watching 4OD, but I did see the episode where he made this.
Janice – ahh, I do my best to tempt 😉
Little Loaf – there’s an idea and that would make this a really quick treat.
Helen – if you do make honeycomb, hope it was more successful than mine.
Hazel – mmmmm, thanks 🙂
Baking Addict – good to hear your thoughts on his book, I haven’t seen any. You made me laugh about having a TV, but not watching it.
Foodiva – sometimes the price is just worth paying 😉
C – thank you. I think you’re right, these would go down a storm at work.
They look lovely, I bet they’d go down a treat at work. I’ll have to check out the website – as if I need more things to add to the ‘to make’ list! Your honeycomb looks great, it doesn’t look failed, and I really must get round to making some, thanks for the reminder!
Horrible as it sounds, I think I’m quite happy to fall into a sugar-induced coma after a few bites of this! Looks incredible!
Can I have the whole plate please? These look divine. Now I really want to make my own honeycomb. I’ve just blogged about a recipe from his book – its a really good book. I’ll definitely check out the website as well. I can’t believe you don’t have a TV! Well I have one but I never watch it so same difference 🙂
Wow these look fantastic! Great effort. I love the idea of sticky yet crunchy. Mmmm!
Wow, these look amazing. I WILL be making honeycomb this weekend and nothing is going to stop me – especially now I’ve seen these. And, you don’t have a TV?
Those look absolutely amazing! Love the combination of honeycomb AND maltesers…and I guess if you were in a hurry you could just use Crunchie bars instead of making the hokey pokey (although that is lots of fun, especially when it all fizzes up!).
Am off to check out the Baking Mad website now 🙂
I’ve never heard of Baking Mad, but might have to go and have a look now. That looks fabulous – more temptation!
I’ve been watching Baking Mad on 4 on demand over the past couple of weeks (I don’t have a tv either!) and some of the recipes Eric has made look to die for! This is definitely one I want to try and looks even more amazing with the honeycomb on top, well done!
I LOVE crunchie bars so I would just INHALE these! They look fabulous!
Karen
How good do they look? I’ve not seen the programme either but I do own one of his books and I really should make something from it judging by your post!
I think I actually want to eat the screen…
these look stunning! I want some!
Nom! x
I think it looks wonderful! What a fantastic treat:-)
I made honeycomb last year and it was quite chewy and a little burnt in places but still strangely addictive with chocolate drizzled over it – yours is a more sophisticated version and looks wonderful – I quite like chewy honeycomb – it is not just all about crunch in my book
If you hadn’t told me it was a disaster I would never have known, that honeycomb looks really good. Are you sure you didn’t sneak in a second batch? Thank you for the link x
they look amazing… I love honeycomb or cinder toffee as we call it up here… that last pic of it all drizzled in chocolate is to DIE for x
Delicious! I love honeycomb.
OMG….. please send some to me…. x
That’s amazing!! Well done!
Have a nice day
