Sesame Raisin Bars are a delicious snack for people on the go. They are surprisingly filling and give a boost of energy to keep you going longer. While I add raisins, cranberries and cherries also work really well. Serve as a snack. These store well and keep in an air tight container for a week, if they last that long!!
