Directions
Mix the cocoa powder, rice cereal, oats, coconut, and sesame seeds together in a large bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla. Stir everything until it melts and comes together into a smooth mixture. Pour this warm peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and give it a good stir so everything is evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish. Let it sit and cool for about an hour until it firms up. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!
