Honey & Sesame Bites

Submitted by -Sylvie-

"This is high in fibre. I found the recipe in a Supermarket magazine and posted it here for future use and safekeeping. Update: Sharon123 kindly chose to make these for the Photo Swap, but she had problems with them falling apart (see her review). I have since tried them myself and increased the amount of butter (the original called for 3 1/2 oz), which seems to have solved the problem. Make sure you let them cool completely before trying to lift them out of the pan or pick them up. They will set and stick once cold. I actually made mine in a 9inch springform, which gave me the advantage that I could get right at them after taking the outer ring of."

The taste of this treat is really good! But, when I tried to lift the bites out of the pan, everything just fell apart. I used wax paper to line a glass 8"x8" pan. I will just eat this like granola, and all is well. Thank you Sylvie!
