Crunchy Sesame Brittle Candy

Step 1

Grab a silicone baking mat (or Silpat mat), if you have one, so it’s ready. Or, grease a baking sheet with oil, butter, or any cooking fat.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut sugar and maple syrup and heat bubbly and frothy.

Step 3

Lower the heat and add sesame seeds and pinch of salt. Stir continuously for 10-15 minutes, until the seeds begin to brown. (Be mindful as you stir so the seeds don’t burn, and don’t let your pan begin smoke—this mixture will turn quickly!)

Step 4

Remove from heat and pour sticky mixture onto your silicone baking mat or prepared baking sheet, smoothing it out into an even layer. (Work quickly because the sugar will set!)

Step 5

Once smooth set aside to dry for just a few minutes.

Step 6

Remove dry sheet of brittle from baking mat and cut into squares or bars while still warm.

Step 7

Allow to cool 15-20 minutes before serving and enjoying!

Step 8

Keep in an airtight container for 2 weeks.

Step 9

Yields ~24-48 pieces of sesame brittle candy, depending on size of cut.
