I make more cakes and cookies than candy, but I love to stir up a batch of this toffee for Christmas because it's so easy!

Sesame Toffee Recipe

Prep: 10 min. Cook: 30 min. + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

10 30 40

Ingredients

2 teaspoons plus 3/4 cup butter, softened, divided
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with foil and grease the foil with cooking spray; set aside.
Grease the sides of a large heavy saucepan with 2 teaspoons butter. Add the corn syrup and remaining butter; cook over medium heat until butter is melted. Add sugar and sesame seeds; cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Cook and stir until mixture turns a golden brown and a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage).
Pour into prepared pan (do not scrape sides of saucepan). Spread evenly. Cool; break into pieces. Yield: about 3/4 pound.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

A wonderful addition to my xmas tray, this is indeed easy to make. Just watch and stir carefully when getting to the hard-crack stage, this could easily burn. Very, very tasty!
