Sesame hazelnut candy tastes sweet and crunchy, with toasted, nutty notes from the sesame and hazelnuts. The exact balance varies by recipe, but the cooked sugar binds the ingredients into a firm, brittle-style confection.
To make sesame hazelnut candy, combine toasted sesame seeds and hazelnuts with hot, cooked sugar, then spread or shape the mixture and let it cool until firm. Work carefully: hot sugar can cause serious burns.
Not necessarily. Sesame hazelnut candy specifically combines sesame with hazelnuts, while sesame brittle may contain sesame alone or other nuts. Both are typically crunchy sweets held together by cooked sugar, so recipes can be very similar.
Sesame hazelnut candy can stay chewy if the sugar mixture was not cooked enough to set firmly or if moisture got into the finished candy. Let it cool completely in a dry place, then store it in an airtight container.
Keep sesame hazelnut candy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and humidity. Separate pieces with parchment paper if they touch; moisture can make the sugar coating sticky and soften the crunch.
You can freeze sesame hazelnut candy in a tightly sealed, moisture-proof container, but condensation during thawing may make it sticky. For the best texture, thaw it while still wrapped and keep it dry before opening.
Yes, crushed sesame hazelnut candy can add a crunchy, sweet topping to ice cream, yogurt, or baked desserts. Add it just before serving so moisture from the dessert does not soften the sugar coating.
It can, particularly if the candy has absorbed moisture or softened. Chew it carefully, and drink water afterward to help clear sugary pieces from your mouth.
Sesame hazelnut candy contains seeds and nuts, but it is still a sugar-based sweet. Those ingredients do not cancel out the candy’s concentrated sweetness, so it is best treated as an occasional confection rather than a nutritious everyday snack.
Sesame hazelnut candy contains cooked sugar and may raise blood glucose. Whether it fits depends on an individual’s diabetes plan and portion, so ask your doctor or dietitian for advice tailored to your needs.

Sesame hazelnut candy brings roasted sesame seeds and hazelnuts together in a sweet, often crisp confection. The nuts add a rich, toasted flavour, while the sesame gives each bite a pleasantly nutty crunch. It is a Turkish-style sweet, though similar seed-and-nut candies are enjoyed in many places.
Serve a small piece with tea or coffee, or offer it as part of a mixed selection of sweets. It is energy-dense, with much of its richness coming from the nuts and seeds, so a modest portion is often satisfying. Its crunchy texture also pairs well with plain, unsweetened drinks.
