Ingredients
- 180 g peanuts toasted
- 75 g white sesame seeds toasted
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 36 ml maltose
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Instructions
- Toast the peanuts and sesame seeds in a dry skillet or in the oven until aromatic, about 5-10 minutes.
- Keep the white sesame seeds and peanuts warm in a 200°F/93°C oven for 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, place an 8" by 10" pan in the oven to warm up.
- Combine water, vinegar, maltose and sugar into a small saucepan with a candy thermometer attached by the side.
- Heat over medium heat and do not stir the mixture until it turns into a syrup.
- When the sugar syrup temperature reaches 275°F-280°F/135°C-138°C, turn off the heat and add salt.
- Take the peanut and white sesame seeds out of the oven and pour the mixture into the syrup.
- Quickly combine the mixture with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Remove saucepan from stove.
- Dump the sesame mixture into the warmed 8" by 10" by 1" pan, lined with a piece of parchment paper.
- Level and flatten the nuts and seeds.
- Fold the parchment paper in half to cover the candy and use a rolling pin to press the candy evenly to compact it.
- Transfer candy out of the pan onto a cutting board and roll it with the rolling pin to further compact the candy.
- Cut the candy with a sharp thin blade knife while it is still very warm into ½" by 1" bite pieces.
Notes
- Pan size: 8"x 10"x 1"
