Sesame honey bar

How does it do in the heat? Does it get all sticky/melted?

It depends on the type of pasteli,if its hard or soft.
If it is softer with more honey,it does a bit worse in heat,but does not melt.I am not talking about direct summer sunlight,that would spoil everything fast.

Assuming you keep them in your pack,at 95 F outside (35 C),they might get a little sticky ,and harder to get out of the package,but they can be eaten ok.They are much less sensitive than chocolate.

I dont know how many days it takes to spoil in heat.Will have to test that.I assume if you keep it out of direct sunlight,it will last months.

I've only seen those sold here as small snack size sticks. Or like small crackers.

Yeah there can be larger bars (70 g).Gives you about 370 Cal according to label.

Ken, the larger sized bars are usually found in Middle Eastern groceries (called Sesame Snaps, I think). You get 3 layers of thin sesame "wafers" in a cello pack. They are very hard in texture (like a hard brittle), very sweet, and not very dentist-approved, LOL. They would not melt, but the 3 layers can stick together in the heat and become more difficult to separate.

Definitely calorie-dense, but they are a candy, not a healthy food.

The sesame bars, which you can also find at Asian markets and in many supermarkets, are fine. Halvah is another story. It has a lot of sesame tahini, which is very oily, and quickly makes a royal mess that is very difficult to control. I'd recommend against it, especially in bear country. Too bad, as it is a very good combination of fat, carbs, and protein, and quite tasty in the bargain.
