This Easy Sesame Brittle Recipe Easier Than You Think

Instructions:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Have your toasted sesame seeds measured and ready to go.
2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, water, and salt.
3. Attach your candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Then, stop stirring and let the mixture come to a boil.
4. Continue cooking without stirring, carefully monitoring the temperature. You're aiming for the hard-crack stage (around 300-310°F or 149-154°C).
5. Once the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage, remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the toasted sesame seeds. Work quickly!
6. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a heat-resistant spatula, quickly spread the brittle into a thin, even layer.
7. Let the brittle cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, break it into bite-sized pieces.
