30g sesame seeds (about 2 tablespoons)
100g dark chocolate (about 3.5 oz)

Directions:
1. Prepare the Oats and Dates:
Grind 150g of oat flakes into a fine texture using a blender or food processor.
Remove the pits from 200g of dates.
Place the dates in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften.
Drain the dates using a colander and add them to the ground oats.
2. Blend the Oat-Date Mixture:
In the blender or food processor, combine the soaked dates with the ground oats and blend until smooth.

Pour the oat and date mixture into a bowl.
Add 30g of raisins, 20g of honey, and 50g of chopped almonds to the mixture.
Stir in 30g of sesame seeds and mix well to combine all ingredients.
4. Shape the Bars:
Take half of the mixture and press it into a rectangular mold or pan, compacting it evenly.
With the remaining mixture, fill a silicone mold with a 6 cm diameter (or any small mold you prefer), and press it down firmly.
