Chewy Seed Snacks

"Mothers used to carry around a mixture of fennel, anise, dill, and caraway seeds. They would give them to their kids to munch on at church when they were bored or hungry. This seed mixture is also great for digestion and instantly relieves gas. I know this sounds weird, but I decided to try combining these into a snack bar. These are packed with good stuff, tasty, and very filling. They will give you energy to carry on for quite a while. Instead of unsing flaked spelt cereal, you could sub with corn flakes, puffed rice, oats, etc. If you're not sure you'll like this, I suggest making 1/2 or even 1/4 of the recipe to give it a taste."

  1. These are funky. It is hard to imagine WHAT these will turn out to be, but imagine a healthy bar cookie with some great unexpected tastes. I didn't have dill seed, so subbed in poppy. I also used maple syrup for the sugar. I did melt chocolate over the top and then salted the chocolate- it makes a huge yummy difference. Had two friends taste them and they both asked for the recipe. I think that you should judge these for yourself and try them.=)
     
  2. Decided to give this a try and would definitely recommend to forgo the caraway seeds, and dill seeds, I didn't even use anise or fennel seeds but would probably not like those either. The caraway seeds ruined the other flavors by giving it an unnecessary bitter taste. The rest of the flavors go well together and created a delicious taste however.
