Ingredients

• 200 grams sesame seeds
• 120 ml honey
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a small baking sheet or a tray by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it with butter.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Cook the mixture for another 2–3 minutes on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Allow the mixture to cool for 10–15 minutes, but not completely, as it should still be pliable for cutting.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut the cooled sesame mixture into bite-sized squares or rectangles. Let the pieces cool completely before serving or storing.

Step 9

Store the Honey Sesame Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
