Description
Discover the divine taste of authentic Greek Sesame Candy and Honey, a quick and easy homemade dessert that will transport you to the Mediterranean. These delectable candies feature a delicate, caramelized sesame seed coating and a drizzle of rich, golden honey for a truly irresistible treat.
Ingredients
– 2 cups white sesame seeds
– 1 cup honey
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Remove the toasted sesame seeds from the heat and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
3. Drizzle the honey over the sesame seeds and stir to coat them evenly.
4. Sprinkle the cinnamon (if using) over the mixture and stir to combine.
5. Using your hands, form the honey-coated sesame seeds into small, bite-sized balls or logs.
6. Place the candies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool and harden, about 15-20 minutes.
7. Enjoy the Greek Sesame Candy and Honey as a sweet snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Notes
– For a chunkier texture, don’t fully roll the candies into balls or logs, but rather leave them in a more rustic, irregular shape.
– Experiment with different nut or seed varieties, such as almonds or hazelnuts, for a twist on the classic recipe.
– Drizzle additional honey over the candies just before serving for an extra indulgent touch.
