Date Sesame Seed Bars

nice with a cup of hot jasmine tea

This is the easiest no bake dessert to make. They are good to snack on with a cup of hot tea or to eat as candy/dessert.


I was cleaning out the pantry and discovered a bar of date paste which was meant for Food for the Gods and several bags of sesame seeds. I wasn't in the mood for butter rich cakes and decided to go "healthy" and mixed the date paste with the sesame seeds. The bars were done in no time at all and they're so yummy too.
