Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sesame seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Sugar-free vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat.
Add sesame seeds to the skillet and toast them for about 3-5 minutes until they become golden and fragrant, stirring frequently. Be careful not to burn them.
Remove toasted sesame seeds from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add granulated erythritol to the saucepan, stirring continuously until it dissolves completely and begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add in the vanilla extract and sea salt, stirring to combine.
Mix the toasted sesame seeds into the saucepan with the caramel mixture, making sure they are well coated.
Line a small baking tray or a flat surface with parchment paper.
Pour the sesame seed mixture onto the prepared surface, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Allow the candy to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until it hardens completely.
Once hardened, break the candy into bite-sized pieces.
Store the keto sesame seed candy in an airtight container at room temperature.
