Method:

Melt butter in a saucepan.
Add sugar, syrup and water and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
Leave to boil without stirring until mixture reaches hard-ball stage (mixture should be hard and brittle when a little is dropped into a glass of cold water).
Add the nuts, bicarbonate of soda and sesame seeds. Mix well.
Pour into a greased shallow tin. Allow to cool slightly before marking off squares.
When cool, break into marked squares.
