This is a very different and unusual breakfast or snack bar. I thought the sesame seeds gave it an odd taste and would leave them out if I made this again. Even after 45 minutes in the fridge my bars were still not very firm although they did hold together. These are filling, fairly healthy and definitely WW-friendly - thanks for posting!
