# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ For the Candy
01 -
240 grams (1 cup) untoasted sesame seeds
02 -
120 millilitres (1/2 cup) raw honey
→ For the Preparation
03 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, for greasing
# How to Make It:
01 -
Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper and brush lightly with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
02 -
Place the sesame seeds in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Stir continuously for 3–4 minutes until seeds are golden and emit a nutty aroma.
03 -
Transfer the pan back to medium heat and pour in the honey. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a slight boil and bubbles, maintaining around 120°C for 3–4 minutes.
04 -
Gently fold the toasted sesame seeds into the heated honey. Stir continuously for approximately 5 minutes to ensure even coating.
05 -
Quickly pour the sesame and honey mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Spread evenly and flatten using parchment paper or a rolling pin for a uniform layer.
06 -
Allow the mixture to cool for 20 minutes, then cut into rectangular bars or squares with a sharp knife.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
A pinch of sea salt sprinkled on top before cooling elevates the flavour profile. Store in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve freshness and crunch.
