This was nice, but I felt that the sesame seeds overwhelmed all the other ingredients. I made the chocolate variety, and it probably needed some more maple syrup because mine turned out barely sweet. I omitted the coconut, which I'm not too fond out, and cut these into squares. I used cashew butter, but could barely taste it. I'll tweak this a tad the next time I make it.
