Salted Honey Brittle · Rach Pilston
Alison (co-founder of Halen Môn)’s father Ian travelled all around the world for his work, believe it or not, selling fire engines. (Decades later, Alison would win the same Queen’s award for salt as he did for selling his beloved fire engines.) Ian would come back home laden with exotic sweets, and Alison’s favourites were always sesame snaps. This brittle is rather like a posh version of those childhood favourites. Look for black sesame seeds online or in larger supermarkets, but if you can’t find them, use double the amount of the white ones instead. Wrap a few of these in baking parchment and give as edible gifts.
