Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 stick of butter
1 1/4 cups white and/or black sesame seeds
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup unsalted, roasted peanuts
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Special equipment:
8x8" glass baking dish
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Butter an 8x8" glass baking dish; line with parchment paper, leaving a generous overhang on all sides. Mix 1 1/4 cups white and/or black sesame seeds, 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 cup unsalted, roasted peanuts, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a large bowl. Mix 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add to sesame seed mixture and mix well.
  • Scrape mixture into prepared baking dish; press firmly into an even layer. Bake at 350°F until golden brown around the edges, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool until firm, 30-40 minutes. Lift out of baking dish (if it starts to crumble, let cool longer) and cut into 16 bars. Let cool completely.
  • Do Ahead
  • Bars can be made 3 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly, but I think that was because I didn't let them cool long enough.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of sugar next time.
