No Bake Chewy Apricot Bars Granola with Simply Sesame Pistachio

I made these no bake granola bars for Simply Sesame‘s contest for home cooks to create recipes with their delicious sesame spreads. I choose to use the Pistachio Morsels with a hint of Cardamom for this recipes. These No Bake Chewy Apricot Granola Bars are so simple to make. You will be done in the kitchen in under 10 minutes. No bake granola bars are the best!

These No Bake Chewy Apricot Granola Bars have a great flavor profile. The black sesame seeds provide a slight earthy flavor to the sweetness of the apricots and honey. Apricots and Pistachios only enhance the Simply Sesame Pistachio Morsels spread. I left these on the counter after I shot the photos and they quickly disappeared without anyone admitting to eating them!
