3. Allow to cool.
4. Using a heavy pan, heat the margarine and then add the honey.
5. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to caramelise.
6. Pour the sesame seeds into the warm mixture and stir thoroughly.

here's another one. i dont know what 'golden syrup' is, but as far as i know, honey can be used as a straight substitute for corn syrup. it would make something sweet anyways! :LOL
