Honeycomb-Hokey Pokey - Crunchy Bar

A New Zealand Classic, especially delicious if you top it with chocolate in the end. I made this for a friend, who's son is extremely allergic to milk. He loved it!
Ingredients
2 cups ( 440g) sugar, 2/3 cup honey, 120g butter, 1 tablespoon bicarbonate of soda ( baking soda/Natron), 600g dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
Place the sugar, honey and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Place a candy or sugar thermometer in the saucepan and simmer for 7-8 minutes or until the mix reaches 150°C. Take off the heat and remove the thermometer. Add the bicarbonate of soda and stir untilthe mixture is golden and foamy. Pour the mix into a lightly greased 28x38cm baking tin. Set aside for 30min or until hard. Spread with chocolate and set aside for another 1 hour or until chocolate is set. Remove the honeycomb from the tin and break into pieces to serve.
