I was looking for something to take to school and work. My teen-angers & I really like these, they really hit the mark! I switched sesame seeds for sliced almonds, used corn syrup as I didn't have honey, and added sliced dried apricots instead of raisins (this time). These will become a staple in my house! Thank you :)

These are really good! Fast and easy to put together. I combined all the dry...and in a separate bowl, mixed all the wet ingredients and then combined them with a wooden spoon... finishing using my hand. Pressed them into the pan...and I didn't have any trouble with them holding together. Loved the fact that these are not sweet. Thank you for sharing this great recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2010.
