Easy Sesame Seeds Candy 芝麻糖
I remember when I was kid, I always love the sesame candy, with peanut. They are so crunch and smell so nice (from the sesame seeds) . Sesame seeds are important for immune system function, including zinc, selenium, copper, iron, vitamin B6, and vitamin E. So you are having a candy but also good for you ! HAHA
This is the Chinese version recipe, we use maltose, it has very mild flavour, very sticky. I never use anything to substitute maltose, cause nothing really get close to the texture. But free feel to try honey, but the taste and texture will be different.
小時候非常喜歡吃芝麻花生糖，其實只要是糖都喜歡。中式的芝麻糖，香脆好味。加上芝麻營養價值非常高，用麥芽糖又不會太甜，非常好味！
這個是中式食譜，一定要用麥芽糖，即使用蜜糖代替，味道和質感都完全不同。煮糖的溫度就是影響糖的口感，是硬還是軟身。建議煮至125-130度C，然後立刻離火（*如沒有溫度計，可煮糖至沸騰，有大氣泡出現，然後將一滴糖漿滴落一碗水內，如果糖漿立刻凝固和硬身，就代表OK）最好還是用溫度計！
Toast the sesame seeds for few minutes, set aside.
In a sauce pan, add in maltose, sugar and water, cook under medium heat and reach 125-130C, then remove the heat immediately. If you don’t have thermometer, you can cook until boiling and big bubble form, then add a drop of syrup in a bowl of water, if it harden quickly, that means is ok.
Add in sesame seeds and nuts, mix it together quickly, then pour on parchment paper. Then roll the surface until even, let it rest for few minutes. Cut into small pieces while it still hot. (It is very hard to cut when is cool down and will break into pieces)
*This recipe can make around 30 candies
*You can store it in air tight container for about 1 to 2 weeks.
先用中火烘芝麻數分鐘至有香味，備用
在鍋內加入麥芽糖、糖和水，用中火煮至糖溫度至125-130度C，然後立刻離火（*如沒有溫度計，可煮糖至沸騰，有大氣泡出現，然後將一滴糖漿滴落一碗水內，如果糖漿立刻凝固和硬身，就代表OK）
倒入芝麻和果仁，快速拌勻，然後倒在烘焙紙上. 再用擀麵棒擀平表面，待數分鐘，然後趁還是熱時，將芝麻糖切件(*因為如果涼了，很難切開和會碎）
＊這個食譜可做約30粒糖
＊可將糖放入密封盒內，存放一至兩星期
