Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 1 cup raw sesame seeds
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup honey

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine sugar, honey, and water in a small, thick bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until a smooth slurry forms, about 3 minutes. Stir in raw sesame seeds.

Step 3

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until mixture turns an amber-caramel color, 5 to 10 minutes. A candy thermometer should read 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla extract. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Cool until hardened, 15 to 20 minutes. Break into pieces.
