Ingredients

  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. honey tips & tricks
  • 1 pinch ground Himalayan sea salt

Directions

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, add sesame seeds and toast until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, honey and sea salt. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the color turns amber.
  • Add toasted sesame seeds and quickly stir until well blended.
  • Rapidly remove from the heat and dump the mixture onto a silicone mat.
  • Spread mixture using a greased angled spatula, and place another silicone mat on top.
  • Roll down to a thin layer (the thinner it is, the crunchier it gets) with a rolling pin.
  • Gently peel off the silicone mat and score with a greased knife into 2-inch square (you might have to re-score a few times as it gets harder).
