Brown sugar and honey are used to make a caramel, then popped grain and sesame seeds are added. I used popped quinoa since that's what I had. A very easy homemade candy, you just have to watch that the caramel doesn't get too dark. It is very difficult to spread out (and it's hot, of course) and I wasn't able to cut it into bars. Broken into irregular pieces it's good to eat as is or to add to the top of other desserts.
