Sesame seed candy. Crunchy.

Sesame seed candy. Crunchy and sweet.

Sesame candy or halawa simsim

Sesame candy,  halawa simsim in Arabic, is a crunchy sweet dessert made from roasted sesame seeds in caramelized sugar. South Sudanese make this delicacy for events, feasts, and holidays. It is easily addictive.

Picture above are sesame seeds, one that is roasted and one that is raw.

Sesame seeds, left, roasted. Right, raw sesame seeds.
