Directions

Line a cookie sheet with SilPat.
Combine sugar and golden syrup in a large, microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 ½ minutes.
Stir in the roasted chickpeas and microwave on high 3 ½ minutes.
Then stir in shortening and microwave for 1 ½ minutes.
Carefully add the vanilla and baking soda and beat until light and foamy (this happens fast and splatters - wear gloves if the bowl is shallow!).
Pour onto cookie sheet and spread to a thick but even layer.
Cool completely.
