This is so easy to make, and a yummy thing to take to parties.

Unfortunately the making process is a bit hectic, so there isn't time to take photos!

You need:

4 tablespoons of Golden Syrup
100g Caster Sugar
1.5 teaspoons Bicarb.

I'd advise you use an old pan for this as it does make a mess.

Stick some greaseproof paper or greased tinfoil somewhere accessible as you need to tip hot stuff straight on to it.

Mix the sugar and syrup in the pan, off the heat.

Put the pan on the heat and watch as the mixture bubbles and turns a maple-syrup colour. This takes a couple of minutes. It is important NOT to stir this whilst it is on the heat.

Take the pan off the heat and stir in the bicarb. The mixture expands like mad and turns a golden colour.

Tip the mixture out on to the paper you prepared earlier. Remember the mixture is ridiculously hot at this stage.

Leave to cool for a few hours and then smash into pieces! Eat!

You'll never get all the mixture out of the pan, so leave this to dry and it will then dissolve very easily in water.
