How to make hokey pokey candy.
You only need 3 ingredients to make hokey pokey and around 10 minutes.
Sugar
Golden syrup
Baking soda
When the baking soda is mixed with the melted sugar a chemical reaction happens and this is how you get a light airy candy filled with air pockets.
It is very easy to make but is also very easy to overcook and burn, once the sugar is a golden amber colour you need to work fast before it over cooks.
Make sure you have all your ingredients set out and a lined greased pan ready before you start. Once you add the baking soda you need to move quick and get the hokey pokey out of the pot and into the prepared pan, so the hokey pokey retains its air bubbles.
Have a go at making this chocolate coated hokey pokey it is as good as the store bought candy, but you do not have to leave the house and is a lot cheaper.
