Ingredients
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and become fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to bubble gently, ensuring the two are well combined.
Step 4
Add vanilla extract and sea salt into the bubbling mixture, and stir continuously for another 2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the toasted sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Step 6
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly using a spatula, pressing down to compact the candy.
Step 7
Allow the candy to cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or until it is firm enough to handle.
Step 8
Once firm, cut the candy into small squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Step 9
Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
