These bars are a winner with the kids at home. I think it's partly because of the texture _ crunchy with a lovely background flavour, and of course the sweetness of the sugar. You can omit the sugar if you want, but the texture will be slightly crumblier.

- 100g sunflower seeds
- 100g sesame seeds
- 100g pumpkin seeds
