Step 1

Spray the work counter with plenty of vegetable spray. Spray the rolling pin and have it ready to use.

Step 2

In a pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds and almonds until golden, then remove from heat.

Step 3

In a deep, heavy pot, add the sugar and warm over a low flame. As the sugar slowly melts into a caramel, begin to stir with a wooden spoon. Keep stirring until the caramel is dark and golden and all the sugar has dissolved. If sugar lumps appear, keep stirring until they dissolve.

Step 4

Add the sesame seeds and almonds all at once and stir vigorously. Quickly pour onto the work counter.

Step 5

Using a well-oiled rolling pin, start to roll the caramel out as thinly and quickly as possible.

Step 6

Using a very sharp knife, cut brittle into 1×2-inch squares.

Step 7

Let cool completely for 15 minutes and separate the squares.
