Steps:
- 1. First, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or tin foil sprayed with oil. Or just the pan itself sprayed with oil. Now, place all ingredients into a large heavy based saucepan.
- 2. Begin stirring (with wooden or metal spoon) ingredients over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Remain boiling, and with a candy thermometer measure temp. till it gets to 325 degrees. (Needs to get to this temp in order to become brittle.) Immediately remove from heat and spread on pan.
- 3. Spread mixture onto the pan with a spatula.
- 4. Score into to pieces a few minutes after placing on cookie pan or wait and just break up into pieces when cooled. That takes about 20 minutes or so. I put the one's I bought at the health food store in this pic so you could see them too.
- 5. You can serve in a bowl just to munch on or place it on another dessert for a crunch garnish, such as a pie or ice cream. Here is a top view of the thickness of this brittle.

Steps:
- Coat a 9-inch-square baking pan or dish with oil or non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- Put the sesame seeds into an ungreased 10-inch skillet (preferably one with a non-stick surface) and stir them over medium-high heat for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and aromatic.
- Temporarily transfer the seeds (they will be hot) to a bowl, making sure that none are left in the skillet; set aside.
- Put the honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger into the skillet and mix them well.
- Slowly bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- As soon as the entire mixture comes to a full rolling boil, cook it vigorously for exactly 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately stir in the sesame seeds until well mixed.
- Quickly turn out the hot mixture into the prepared pan and use a metal spatula that has been dipped into cold water to press the candy into a very smooth and even layer.
- Cool the candy in the pan for l5 minutes, or until it is solid but still lukewarm.
- Run the spatula around the edge of the candy to loosen it.
- Then turn out the whole slab of candy onto a wooden board or other cutting surface.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the large square of warm candy into very small squares, diamonds, or rectangles.
- Cool the candies completely; then store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
- If a professional look is desired, roll each cooked candy in a small piece of stiff cellophane and twist the ends.

Tips:
- For a smoother brittle, use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the sugar mixture.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test. Drop a small amount of the sugar mixture into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard, brittle ball, it is ready.
- Be careful when working with hot sugar. It can cause serious burns.
- Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the sugar mixture from burning.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper before pouring the sugar mixture out. This will make it easier to clean up.
- Work quickly when pouring the sugar mixture out onto the baking sheet. It will start to harden quickly.
- If you want to make sesame brittle, sprinkle the sesame seeds onto the sugar mixture before it hardens.
- If you want to make honey brittle, drizzle the honey over the sugar mixture before it hardens.
- Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
Conclusion:
Honey sesame brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and crunchy texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give honey sesame brittle a try. You won't be disappointed!
