Cooking Demo Recipe!
Pastelli recipe:
1 1/2 cups honey
2 1/2 cups sesame
1. Toast sesame very lightly on medium heat

3. Add sesame and stir to combine
4. Cook mixture, stirring constantly, on medium/medium-low (depending on the how hot your stove is) for approximately 10 mins or until golden brown. It should smell toasty and nutty
5. Spray 13X9 with Pam and line with parchment paper.
6. Give the mix one more good stir
7. Pour into the prepared pan and spread the mix out evenly (don't worry about it being a little lumpy, it will settle)
