Sesame Brittle Recipe

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.
