Sesame bars, very similar to these, are available at the Union Square farmer’s market.  I use to purchase them every once in awhile.  Lately, however, I have been wanting the bars with regularity - an expensive habit.  To make matters worse - my children are equally enamored.  I hate to deny them such a healthful treat and so resolved to make them myself.  After some experimentation,  I have discovered that the binder/filler ratio is much more important than an exacting recipe.  Take advantage of the opportunity to finish off half eaten containers of nuts, dried berries and seeds.
