How to Make Sesame Almond Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy removal. Arrange graham crackers side-by-side in the prepared pan.
- In a 1-quart saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2 minutes, or until the mixture slightly thickens.
- Remove from heat and immediately pour the butter mixture evenly over the arranged graham crackers.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup sliced almonds and 2 tablespoons sesame seeds.
- Bake for 18-19 minutes, or until the graham crackers are lightly browned and the butter is bubbly and golden. Watch carefully during the last 2-3 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Using a sharp knife, immediately cut each graham cracker crosswise in half while the squares are still in the pan.
- Let cool completely in the pan before carefully transferring the squares to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container, layering with wax paper between each layer, in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months.
