Honeycomb and Toast
Honeycomb has a unique texture that is conducive for spreading it across your favorite piece of bread. Try pairing honeycomb with a delicious scone, toast, or baguette with your morning tea or coffee. You can also add savory meats and cheeses to the bread to create a scrumptious sandwich.
