Food editor Maggie Ruggiero touts these amber bars as the love child of rice krispie treats and those sesame candies sold at natural foods stores. They're nutty, both crisp and chewy, and just a bit crumbly—the perfect afternoon snack. Honey and brown sugar lend a touch of sweetness, while egg whites, nuts, and seeds give the bars protein and chewiness.
Cooks note:
Bars keep chilled in an airtight container 3 weeks.
