Ingredients
- 150 grams sesame seeds
- 150 grams honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a dry skillet over medium heat, gently toast the sesame seeds for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown and aromatic. Stir continuously to prevent burning, then transfer them to a bowl to cool.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly until the mixture becomes bubbly, this should take about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the honey mixture from heat and immediately stir in the toasted sesame seeds until they are fully coated.
Step 5
Pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread and flatten it into a thin, even layer.
Step 6
Allow the sesame candy to cool for about 30 minutes until it hardens. For faster cooling, you can place the tray in the refrigerator.
Step 7
Once cooled and firm, break the sesame candy into bite-size pieces.
Step 8
Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
