Sesame snap candy Recipe

Asian-inspired · Dessert · 25 min total

A crunchy, nutty, and sweet candy made from toasted sesame seeds and caramelized sugar, perfect for a quick treat or gift.

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sesame seeds
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
2. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast sesame seeds, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, honey, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla, baking soda, and toasted sesame seeds until well combined.
5. Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula (mixture will be hot).
6. Let cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then break into pieces or cut with a knife.

Tips

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
• For a variation, substitute half the sesame seeds with black sesame seeds.
• Use a candy thermometer for accurate temperature; if you don't have one, test a drop in cold water—it should form hard, brittle threads.
