h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I love to make sweet and gooey things myself. This way I can control the quality of the ingredients and be sure of a fresh sweet. No artificial flavours or colours necessary.

So far I have learnt to make honeycomb (boil 200g sugar in 4tbs golden syrup until it is the right colour then add 1 tbs bicarb and pour) and other harder ones like white christmas (although I had to dry my own peel to avoid the chemicals).

I became vegan just last week so I had to ditch my caramel recipe (so gooey!) and I'm looking for other good ideas.

I would love to make chocolate but can't find any cocoa butter.

I tried toffee and failed (but will keep looking for a good recipe).

Being pregnant, I get spots of absolute and utter hunger when I just crave sugar in any form and will go spare if I have to cook AGAIN. At this point I simply mix vanilla sugar with cocoa in a little espresso cup and eat it like sherbert. I call it chocobert.

I was eating the middle out of the maltesers at one point too, and I'd love to try a malt honeycomb recipe....

I tried making the honeycomb the other night, great fun.

I've got a very reliable recipe for treacle toffee if you'd like it. I'll dig it out for you.
