Black Sesame Brittle | 黑芝麻糖

A crunchy, nutty black sesame brittle that fills your mouth with aroma and taste
of caramel, my favorite treat for Chinese new year. It's fast and easy with only
5 ingredients(counting salt and water). It's a great snack as black sesame is
super high in calcium, and making it yourself lets you control how much sugar
you add to it.

🧂 Ingredients

2 C Black Sesame Seeds

Toasted
1/3 C Water
1/3 C Brown sugar
1/4 C Sugar
1/4 C Honey
1/4 t Salt

Omit if using salted butter
1/2 TBsp Butter

Instructions

1 White sesame seeds can be toasted in the oven at 300F (150C) for about 7 minutes
or until golden but when it comes to black sesame it's hard to tell the
difference in color. Wash and drain sesame into a wok, turn the heat to medium
high and stir occasionally. After the water has all evaporated, stir constantly
until the black sesame seeds start popping. Remove from heat when the sesame
starts popping every 2 seconds and let cool, over roasting it will make the
seeds bitter and effect the taste of your sesame brittle.
2 Add
1/3C Water
1/3C Brown Sugar
1/4C Sugar
1/4C Honey
to a pot or pan and turn the heat to medium high, bring to a boil
3 Stirring with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula occasionally, cook and boil
until the syrup forms large bubbles. Prepare a cup of cold water, drop one drop
of syrup into the cold water if you're unsure of the stage of your syrup. The
dropped syrup should turn into a hard, crunchy little ball.
4 Turn the heat down to low just to keep it warm so it's easy to work with.
Add 1/4t Salt
2 C Toasted Sesame Seeds
1/2 TBsp Butter
Mix well
5 Remove the sesame mixture to a parchment paper or silicone mat, cover with
another piece of parchment paper and roll it out to about 0.5cm thick. Move to
the cutting board and cut into 1" x 1" pieces before the brittle cools or break
them into uneven pieces after it's cooled.
