Ingredients

  • 1 cup sesame seeds (lightly toasted)
  • 1/3 cup sugar OR 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil (optional, for added richness)
  • A pinch of salt (optional, to balance sweetness)

Instructions

1. Toast the Sesame Seeds

  1. Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat.
  2. Stir continuously for 3–5 minutes, until they turn light golden brown and release a nutty aroma.
  3. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Prepare the Syrup

  1. In a saucepan, heat the sugar or honey over medium heat until it melts and begins to bubble.
  2. Add the butter or coconut oil, if using, and stir well.
  3. Cook the mixture for 2–3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

3. Combine Sesame Seeds and Syrup

  1. Reduce the heat to low and stir the toasted sesame seeds into the syrup.

4. Shape the Bars

  1. Transfer the mixture to a sheet of parchment paper or a greased baking sheet.
  2. Flatten it using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  3. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes (but not completely).
  4. While still warm, cut the mixture into bars or squares using a sharp knife.

5. Cool and Serve

  1. Allow the sesame bars to cool completely and harden.
