Cook, stirring frequently so mixture does not burn, 40 minutes more, or until very thick. Remove pan from heat and let mixture cool slightly. Form tablespoons of warm mixture into 1-inch balls and roll in sesame seeds to coat. Candies may be made 1 week ahead and kept in an airtight coriander in a cool dark place. Makes about 35 candies.
