When looking for recipes to make, I decided to check out honeycomb recipes as I wanted to make something quick and easy to enjoy on a night shift.

Let's get baking!

Ingredients:
200g golden caster sugar
5 tbsp golden syrup
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
200g milk chocolate, melted

Line a 20cm cake tin with baking parchment.

Stir the caster sugar and golden syrup together in a deep pan over a low heat, until the sugar has melted. Try not to let the mixture bubble until the sugar has melted.


Once completely melted, turn up the heat a little and simmer until you have an amber coloured caramel.

Then as quickly as you can take off the heat, tip in the bicarbonate of soda and beat in with a wooden spoon until it has all disappeared and the mixture is foaming.

Scrape the mixture into your prepared tin. Leave in the tin for about 1 hour - 1 hour 3o minutes. The honeycomb will be hard and ready to crumble or snap into chunks.


Once set, in a bain-marie melt your milk chocolate.

You can either dip your honeycomb, coat the honeycomb pieces or just skip the chocolate and enjoy them without.

While this make take a little time to prepare, it's really easy to make and gives you a perfect homemade chocolate bar.
I've made this a few times since and I always enjoy it, it's a perfect sweet treat.

If you would like to follow the original recipe, then head over to the Honeycomb recipe page over on the BBC Good Food website.

See you soon!

I have the O version of the album and I love the layout as well as the photobook. I love the different concepts, styling and colours used, it really makes all the pictures pop.
I love all the tracks on the album, each one is different showcasing their own unique vibe and sound.

I love the melody for Scent, it's the perfect opener for the album. I love how they sound singing this song, allowing them to show off their sensual and seductive side.
Scent

I love how catchy and addictive Rizz is, it stays stuck in my head all day and the lyrics are so easy to sing along with. For me this song really made an impact and even though it's a mid-tempo style track it sticks with you.
Rizz

I love how Dirty Baby changes up from the previous 2 tracks. While still having that XLOV vibe it shows off a dark and sexy vibe. Allowing them to show off their deeper vocals.
Dirty Baby

I have to say that Biii:-P is one of my favourite b-sides on this album. It's cute, colourful and catchy. It really allows them to stand apart from the rest of the groups out there an really zones in on their genderless concept. My only negative is that it's way too short.
Biii:-P

Kiss and Say Goodbye is such a stunning ballad, the melody fits their vocal tones perfectly. I love the softness it's sung with. This song perfectly shows how well the 4 of their vocals work together and bounce off of one another.
Kiss and Say Goodbye
ShadowByYoongi

I love the melody for Drip Drip and I think it's the perfect track to close the album with. Their vocal tones work so perfectly with this song. I also love how they blend their vocals with the tones of the melody.
Drip Drip

For me this album gives us new sides to XLOV, while also giving us what we love about the group.
I got to see them perform in Manchester back in February and they really blew me away. I love that with this group that what you see on the screen and hear through their albums is what you get on stage too. You can tell they love what they do and the message they're sending with not only their music but also their concept.
I can't wait to see what they bring us next and I can't wait to be able to see them live again.
