Recipes for Sesame Caramel or Ganache?
I would like to play with Sesame Caramels and/or ganache filling for chocolate candies or truffles. I'm wanting a robust sesame flavor (not just using sesame seeds as in the Chinese sesame seed honey hard candies) and am thinking of using chinese toasted sesame oil. Has anyone any eperience with this, or seen any books you might mention? Thx much for your help.

lavie, tahini has a texture and flavor that i'm not going for here. It has a raw flavor that doesn't appeal to me as much as toasted sesame oil. btw, just fyi there is a Toasted Sesame Paste available at Asian groceries that you might enjoy sub'ing for tahini >> fuller deeper flavor.
