Pour the mixture over the layer of chocolate in the tin and let it cool completely.

Pour the cream into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring to the boil over a medium high heat. Add the sugar, syrup and honey.

Bring to the boil again and when the sugar has dissolved or a thermometer dipped into the mixture reaches 125°C, remove from the heat.

Add the vanilla and butter, stirring until the butter melts. Pour over the nougat layer and leave to cool and set.
