Hey Injest you just got to try it. Us kiwis are the third largest group of ice cream consumers behind the US and Australia. Hokey Pokey is the national favourite:
Hokey pokey Recipe
5 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
2 Tbs. golden syrup
Bring sugar and golden syrup to a boil slowly, stirring constantly. Simmer over very low heat for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a deep golden-brown color. Be careful not to allow it to burn.
Remove from heat, add baking soda. Stir quickly until mixture froths - pour at once into a well greased shallow tin.
Allow to cool, break up (for ease in breaking, place in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin). Store in air-tight jars.
When ready to serve, mix into softened vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
