Pasteli (sesame candy bars)

In a shallow pan, toast the sesame seeds and roughly chopped nuts over medium heat until golden, tossing constantly so they do not burn; no darker or they turn bitter.

Reduce heat to low; add the sugar and, with an oiled tablespoon, the honey.

Warm on the lowest heat until the sugar melts and the mixture sticks together.

Transfer to a nine or ten inch square or round pan lined with parchment; spread and flatten evenly with the oiled back of a measuring cup.

Set aside at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes to cool and set.

Cut while still slightly warm into rectangles, bars or small candies.
