This is fun, a bit like doing a chemistry experiment in your kitchen! It is an instant hit and you can smother it in chocolate or add a few extra flavours, such as a few fennel seeds, chopped nuts or caraway seeds to the boiling syrup. It is simply brilliant for older children to make, exciting for younger children to be a part of making and it is not just for eating on its own as a treat. Try crumbling it and sprinkling it over cake icing, using it on ice cream, or serving chunks alongside a mousse.
