Step 1Place sweetener, tahini, salt into a large saucepan over medium heat and cook until sweetener is dissolved. Stir in sesame seeds (or slivered almonds). Cook, stirring often until mix goes a delicious caramel colour, approximately 5 to 10 minutes or until temp reaches 150 °C/ 300 °F, testing with a candy thermometer.
Step 2Remove from heat immediately when it starts to get fragrant and goes dark like caramel.
