I've been playing around with another snack bar recipe. Somewhat surprisingly, the peanut butter granola bars were a fair hit with our little one and I wanted to try another variation to mix things up a little. The result is this cereal bar made of puffed cereal, almonds, and sesame seeds.
I think I might've pushed my luck a little too far with the nuts - the little guy was not a fan of these (it didn't help that he was in no mood to try something new when I presented them). On the whole, I liked these - they're slightly chewy yet crunchy (from all those nuts) and just a tad sweet from some honey. They do tend to crumble so it's a bit messy. It helps to keep it in the fridge and the best part is you can store it there for about 3 weeks.
The original recipe uses sliced almonds and cashews and in retrospect, it would've been a better idea to mix the nuts as opposed to going with all almonds like I did. I was trying to play it safe because while I like cashews, they can be a little too rich...plus, I know the little guy would not go for cashews at all. So long story short, there's a lot of almonds in every bite. I'm ok with that as a person who loves almonds but a little of this goes a long way.
