Most recipe's don't use much honey but I found this one that does.
 
Sesame Candy
 
3 cups honey
2 cups sesame seeds
peanut oil
 
In a deep, medium-size saucepan slowly heat honey over medium-low heat,
using a heat diffuser, to the hard-crack stage (about 305 to 310 degrees on
a candy thermometer). Stir down often to prevent boiling over, about 45
minutes.
 
Stir in sesame seeds.
 
Set aside for a few minutes to cool slightly. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch
baking sheet with peanut oil. Do not use waxed paper. Pour honey mixture
onto it. Set baking sheet on a cooling rack. When cooled, but not hard,
score into diamond shapes. When cooled completely, remove candy and
separate into pieces.
