Begin by lining a baking sheet or square pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment with a little oil or cooking spray.

In a skillet, heat over medium heat and add raw sesame seeds. Toast the seeds for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to achieve a golden color.

Pour honey or maple syrup over the toasted sesame seeds in the skillet. Allow the mixture to bubble gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes slightly thickened.

Reduce the heat to low and stir the mixture continuously for an additional 1-3 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky.

Carefully transfer the warm mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Let the candy cool at room temperature until fully set.

Once the candy has cooled and set, use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container.
