This delicious recipe is a cross between peanut brittle and sesame snaps.  I either make it purely with sesame seeds or half sesame seeds & half coconut.  Either way it's really yummy.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 cup dessicated coconut (if you don't want coconut, then use another cup of sesame seeds)
  • 1 tablespoon of allowed margarine

Method

  1. Put sugar and margarine in a pan and place over a low heat.  Stir until the marg & sugar is mixed together.  It should look a bit like this

  2. In a dry frying pan, toast the sesame seeds until light golden brown. Add the coconut and keep stirring until the coconut starts to turn golden too. Remove from the heat.

  3. The sugar mix will start to melt and then clump up forming brown sugar lumps.  Eventually it will melt into a smooth lumpless liquid.

    If you feel unsure that it is working check out the other photographs in my Sesame Crunch Album - start at the end and work backwards.

  4. Tip the Sesame Seeds & coconut into the melted sugar and stir it in quickly.  Then tip it out onto Waxed Paper, flatten it with the back of the spoon or a fish slice.

  5. When it has cooled enough to handle, snap the sesame snacks into bite sized pieces. 
    Try not to eat too many whilst doing this!
