Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup roasted cashews
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 1/2 pounds bittersweet chocolate, tempered (see Note)

Method

  • Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, cook the sugar with the water over moderate heat, stirring just until dissolved.
  • Simmer undisturbed until a light amber caramel forms, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the cashews and sesame seeds and cook for 1 minute; immediately pour the caramel onto the lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
  • Chop the brittle into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Pour the tempered chocolate into molds, filling them about halfway.
  • Sprinkle the brittle on top and refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
  • Unmold the chocolates and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
