In this version of the favorite treat, popped kaniwa is used instead of puffed rice. The bars are both crispy and gooey, and they're naturally sweetened with honey. Kaniwa is nutritionally superior to rice as it contains all essential amino acids alongside fiber and micronutrients. Sesame, on other hand, is packed with healthy fats and other nutrients.
