Best 3 Honey Sesame Brittle Or Crunch Recipes

SESAME BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Combine sugar, honey, and water in a small, thick bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until a smooth slurry forms, about 3 minutes. Stir in raw sesame seeds.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until mixture turns an amber-caramel color, 5 to 10 minutes. A candy thermometer should read 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla extract. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet.
• Cool until hardened, 15 to 20 minutes. Break into pieces.

HONEY SESAME BRITTLE (OR CRUNCH)

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.

CRUNCHY SESAME SEED CANDY

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.
