Ingredients
- 200 g Sesame seeds
- 150 ml Honey
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 20 g Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by toasting the sesame seeds in a large, dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Toast for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Once done, transfer them to a bowl and set aside.
Step 2
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar, and butter. Set the pan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble gently.
Step 3
3. Continue to cook the syrup mixture for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
Step 4
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 5
5. Pour the hot syrup over the toasted sesame seeds in the bowl. Quickly mix everything together to fully coat the seeds with the syrup.
Step 6
6. Line a baking dish or a tray with parchment paper. Pour the sesame seed mixture onto the prepared surface.
Step 7
7. Using a spatula or another sheet of parchment paper, press the mixture down firmly into an even layer. Allow the sesame seed mixture to cool at room temperature until it becomes firm enough to cut, about 1-2 hours.
Step 8
8. Once set, lift the sesame block from the tray using the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut the block into 16 individual bars.
Step 9
9. Store the sesame seed bars in an airtight container at room temperature. These bars can stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
