Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams sesame seeds
- 120 ml honey
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Prepare a small baking sheet or a tray by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it with butter.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma. This should take about 4–5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Once toasted, transfer the seeds to a bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the honey and brown sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble. This should take about 3–4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the toasted sesame seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly coated in the syrup.
Cook the mixture for another 2–3 minutes on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
Quickly pour the mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined tray. Use a spatula or the back of a greased spoon to press and flatten the mixture evenly into a rectangular shape.
Allow the mixture to cool for 10–15 minutes, but not completely, as it should still be pliable for cutting.
Using a sharp knife, cut the cooled sesame mixture into bite-sized squares or rectangles. Let the pieces cool completely before serving or storing.
Store the Honey Sesame Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
