Sesame toffee is a crispy, crunchy, and nutty dessert that is perfect for those who love sesame. This treat is made by caramelizing sugar, butter, and water and adding toasted sesame seeds. The toffee is then poured onto a greased cookie sheet and allowed to cool until it hardens. Once it is cooled, it can be broken into pieces and eaten as a snack or dessert. The sesame flavor is prominent, and the toffee has a satisfying crunch that will leave you reaching for more. While it's typically enjoyed during special occasions, it's also great to make and enjoy at home.

Instructions

1.	Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until they turn golden-brown.
2.	In a saucepan, add butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves.
3.	Once the sugar dissolves, stop stirring and let the mixture boil until it reaches 290°F (143°C) on a candy thermometer.
4.	Remove from heat and immediately stir in the baking soda and toasted sesame seeds.
5.	Pour the mixture onto a greased cookie sheet, spreading it to an even thickness. Let it cool and break into pieces.
