A traditional Greek confection, sesame honey candy combines the simplest of ingredients – gently toasted sesame seeds, unrefined sea salt and honey – for natural treat. An alternative to overly sweet candies, sesame honey candy is wholesome but should, like any sweet, be eaten as a rare treat.
extra virgin olive oil(for greasing the baking sheet)
Instructions
Generously grease a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high flame until it becomes hot to the touch. Pour the sesame seeds into the hot pan and stir them continuously with wooden spoon until they’re well-toasted and golden-brown in color – about 5 minutes.
Stir honey and sea salt into the toasted sesame seeds until they become well-coated and the mixture stiffens.
Pour the mixture of honey and sesame seeds onto your greased baking sheet and pat down and smooth out the mixture with a wooden spoon.
Score the candy into pieces of ¼-inch by 1-inch and set the pan aside until the candy is cool enough to handle comfortably.
When cool to the touch, but still warm enough to be malleable, grease your fingers with olive oil and roll the pieces of honey candy into small small, round logs.
