In a saucepan, heat the sugar or honey over medium heat until it melts and begins to bubble.
Add the butter or coconut oil, if using, and stir well.
Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
3. Combine Sesame Seeds and Syrup
Reduce the heat to low and stir the toasted sesame seeds into the syrup.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all seeds are coated evenly.
4. Shape the Bars
Transfer the mixture to a sheet of parchment paper or a greased baking sheet.
Flatten it using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Let it cool for 1-2 minutes (but not completely).
While still warm, cut the mixture into bars or squares using a sharp knife.
5. Cool and Serve
Allow the sesame bars to cool completely and harden.
Separate the pieces and store them in an airtight container.
