Sesame Candy

A little of this sweet treat goes a long way, but it makes a pleasant change from the usual chocolate overload.  


Sesame Candy:


1 c. (250 mL) sesame seeds, toasted

3 tbsp. (45 mL) light brown sugar

3 tbsp. (45 mL) liquid honey


While sesame seeds toast, place a sheet of parchment paper (about the size of a baking sheet) on a heat-proof work surface. Have a second, similarly sized sheet at the ready. Set both sheets aside. In a small pan, combine sugar and honey. Stirring constantly, cook over low heat until thickened, about 5 min. Add sesame seeds, combining well. 


Immediately pour seed mixture onto first sheet of parchment, covering with second sheet. Using a rolling pin, roll mixture to about 1/4-in. thickness. Carefully peel paper from both sides of warm candy. Cut candy into rectangular shapes or squares. When candy is completely cool, store at room temperature in airtight container with layers separated by parchment.
