How to Make Almond Sesame Mounds
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup of slivered almonds and 1/2 cup of sesame seeds to the melted butter. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of honey and continue to stir until the mixture is slightly darker and caramelized (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
- Using two teaspoons, form small, elongated mounds of the nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently flatten each mound slightly.
- Let the mounds cool completely at room temperature (at least 30 minutes).
- (Optional) Melt 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip the cooled candy pieces into the melted chocolate or drizzle it over the top.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.
