Honey Sesame Chips

Honey sesame chips are a snack food made from fried or baked dough, typically flavored with honey and sesame seeds. The dough is often made from wheat flour, and the chips are coated or mixed with honey and toasted sesame seeds before or after cooking.

Manufacturers add honey sesame chips to snack mixes and trail mixes for their sweet and savory flavor profile and crunchy texture. They are also used as a standalone snack, providing a satisfying crunch and a balance of sweetness from honey and nuttiness from sesame.

Honey is a natural sweetener with a long history of use. The FDA recognizes honey as safe (GRAS). While honey contains antioxidants and has some antimicrobial properties, it is primarily composed of sugars, and excessive intake can contribute to health issues associated with high sugar consumption. JECFA has evaluated honey and established guidelines for its quality. Sesame seeds are a source of healthy fats, protein, and minerals.
