Semsmieh/ Lebanese Sesame Candy

"have that pleasant crunch in every bite, usually wrapped with cellophane papers. This is my late granny’s recipe, there is something special about her old-fashioned recipes – grandmothers are wise and hold secret ingredients. I remember she would drop a plate at our house every time she makes semsmieh. A few days ago, I fondly craved those semsmieh bars and many other foods she made for us. Every bite filled me at once with nostalgia, to keep her spirt and memory alive, thought of sharing one of her great recipes with my readers. The crispy hard semsmieh can be easily whipped up in 20 minutes, and when they are prettily packaged, they make a great edible gift to people you care about; seriously, you will fall in love with these bites – guaranteed!"
