DESCRIPTION
The brittle is an old time favorite and well it should be. It has the perfect snap, a satisfying sweet and salty texture, and a lingering finish. The love of brittle isn’t actually old, however. It’s ancient. And it all started with honey sesame brittle! So what could be better for Easter than that?? This amazing treat is sweet but not cloying, with the subtle snap and crunch of sesame seeds. Remarkably, the pieces are not sticky; in fact, you can carry them to a picnic, to work as a snack, and serve them as a favorite treat. Wrapped and ready, they’ll find a welcome place in an Easter Basket and since they’re all-natural, they’re also guilt-free! Love nuts and honey? Then you’ll love our other ancient sweets such as honey with nuts and nougat.

Honey Sesame Brittle: The World’s First Brittle
Many of the early candies were honey-based, such as the pasteli, also known as Honey Sesame Brittle, the first brittle in written history, consisting of honey with sesame seeds and, occasionally, lemon. This delightful treat, still sold at True Treats today, was likely the food Homer referred to in The Iliad as honey and sesame pie. Another honey-based original was the nougat, a soft, sweet honey mixture with nuts, typically almonds or walnuts, suspended inside. Nougat dates back to the Roman food writer Apicius in the first century CE.
Its offspring, still available today, include the Torrone in Italy, which originated in the 15th century, the nougat of France, circa the sixteenth century, and the Torró of Spain, which is roughly 500 years old. To discover the fascinating story of honey in the U.S., take a look at our blog excerpted in Susan Benjamin’s 10th book, Sweet as Sin.
