How to Make Sesame Brittle

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring, and cook until it reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage).
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the sesame seeds and vanilla extract.
  5. Quickly pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it thinly and evenly using a spatula or spoon.
  6. Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This is crucial for achieving the signature crisp texture.
  7. Once cooled, break the brittle into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container.
