Sesame Brittle

Ingredients:
seeds, sesame seeds, whole, dried
sugars, granulated
syrups, corn, light
water, bottled, generic
margarine, regular, 80% fat, composite, stick, without salt
leavening agents, baking soda

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the sesame sees on a large cookie sheet or jelly roll pan and toast them in the oven for 15 minutes.
Place the seeds in a 3 quart pan.
Add the sugar, corn syrup, 1/3 cup water and margarine to the sesame seeds.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Once it's come to the boil, continue to cook without stirring until the temperature reaches 270 degrees F on a candy thermometer or until a small amount of the mixture forms a ball when dropped into very cold water.
(I don't have a candy thermometer, so I use the ball test.)
This can take 15 to 20 minutes or more.
The ball should be "plastic" in texture but should hold the ball shape.
Grease a jelly roll pan.
Stir the baking soda into the sesame seed mixture and pour into the jelly roll pan.
Spread the mixture with a metal spatula so it is 1/4 inch thick.
Cool completely and then break into pieces.
Don't forget to brush your teeth well after munching on these.
