What is Sesame Peanut Candy?
Sesame Peanut Candy is a crunchy sweet made by combining peanuts and sesame seeds with cooked sugar syrup, then letting the mixture set. It resembles a nut brittle and is sold in sweet shops and markets in places where sesame-and-peanut confections are popular; homemade versions are also straightforward to make.
The flavour is sweet and toasted, with a firm snap that breaks into pieces. Enjoy it as a small treat with tea or coffee, or pack a piece for a journey. It is energy-dense, providing 510 calories per 100 g, so a modest piece is often enough. Pair it with an unsweetened drink, or crumble a little over plain yogurt for a contrast in texture.
