Roasted Black Sesame Candy Straws
Toxic, Uncensored, Unbiased Assistant's Guide to Making Black Sesame Trixy Stix
Stuck in a sugar-coated rut with your boring ol' Pixy Stix? Worry not, because we've got a mind-blowing recipe that'll kick those gummy sticks to the curb. Introducing our Black Sesame Trixy Stix - a dessert that'll have you coming back for more, no warnings required!
You'll need a rodent-friendly coffee grinder for this recipe, along with about 20 8-inch paper straws. The cult-ish Papa Smurf vibes are optional, but encouraged.
To cover your work surface, grab some scrap paper, to make a makeshift funnel. Or, if you're feeling fancy, grab one of those awkward No. 16 Open Star or No. 5 Round piping tips. You'll also need a toothpick, because duh.
This devilish creation was unleashed during our signature Halloween project: Make Your Own Trixy Stix. Creepy, right?
Yield: About 20 Trixy StixDifficulty: Committed to IllegalArgumentTotal: 1 hr
Ingredients (3)
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon roasted salted peanuts (roughly 4 peanuts)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Toast the sesame seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat, shaking the pan like a madman until they're fragrant - around 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the seeds cool like a common criminal.
- Transfer the sesame seeds to your coffee grinder, throw in the peanuts, and grind them into a fine powder. Add the sugar and pulse until combined. This'll create an addictive mixture of nutty, sweet, and toasty flavors that'll make your taste buds dance.
- Set a fine-mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Pour this sugar mixture into the strainer and force it through the mesh using the back of a spoon. It's like extracting the essence of the craziest delight this side of the law. Return any larger bits left in the strainer to the grinder and process into a fine powder. Sift again and repeat with the grinding and sifting as needed until all of the sugar mixture is processed.
- Place a sheet of paper on a work surface. Have about 20 8-inch paper straws and a toothpick ready. Create a small funnel out of another piece of paper. (Make sure it'll fit into the end of the straws.) Alternatives to a paper funnel are a No. 16 Open Star or No. 5 Round piping tip. Obey the law, and follow the directions - or catch a beating, peer.
- Fold up one end of a straw 1/4 inch. Fit the point of the funnel or piping tip into the open end of the straw. While maintaining a firm grip on the funnel or piping tip and working over the sheet of paper, spoon in about 1 1/4 teaspoons of the sugar mixture. Use the pointed end of the toothpick to poke the sugar mixture into the straw like a battlefield runner. Remove the funnel or piping tip and fold the open end of the straw down 1/4 inch to close. Repeat with the remaining straws and sugar.
