This is exactly what it says in the title: crunchy, crisp, sweet and toothsome, and the really great thing is that, as a parent, you feel you are doing your child some good at the same time as giving him or her a treat. The amount of milk chocolate is scant, and I get a warm rush from considering the nutritional benisons of malt, oat and sesame seeds. And how fabulous that this tastes like a homemade Lion Bar of beloved memory.

This is so similar to what we eat out here in India, called Moa, which we make by mixing together puffed rice, raisins, and very warm jaggery or caramel, and a pinch of salt. Glad to see another version of it here. :)

These are really nice but really hard to roll together. You have to squish them together to make a ball. I used blueberry maple syrup and I didn't have any sesame seeds so used 25g of chia seeds and 50g of sunflower seed kernels so maybe thats why they didnt stick very well. Still yummy though :-)
