I’m one of those people who gets really excited about Thanksgiving. I love the experience of everyone stopping all the fancy, important, day-to-day-life-stuff, and for just a little while, taking the time to focus on what’s really important: eating ridiculous amounts of good food spending time with the ones you love and being appreciative of what life has in store.

Similar to the traditional Greek sesame candy “Pasteli,” which is made with honey and sesame seeds, these superfood candies take advantage of yacon syrup’s more complex flavor and healthy benefits. Crunchy and chewy at the same time, these all-natural candies are addictingly delicious. If you cannot find pre-roasted/toasted sesame seeds, use raw ones — just pop them in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees ahead of time.
