Ingredients
- 1 cup white sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant. Stir continuously to prevent burning, and this should take about 4-5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the toasted sesame seeds. Stir until well combined and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Press down firmly to compact the mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, the mixture will harden and can be easily broken into individual snaps.
- Store the sesame snaps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
