My middle school aged son chose Hokey Pokey to make for a school project as a food that comes from New Zealand. The recipe he found online included Lyle's Golden Syrup. It took me a while to find this ingredient locally but we were able to track it down.
When I looked at the recipe he had printed it had no directions - just ingredients. I found this Nigella recipe but it used dark corn syrup instead of golden syrup. There was no way we weren't going to use the golden syrup that we worked so hard to obtain so we substituted the golden syrup for the dark corn syrup.
The resulting candy was not very honey combish. It was more like peanut brittle without the peanuts. Nonetheless, my son is happy with it and plans to bring it to school to share with his classmates.
