To add to the above, I recall Annabel saying that if there are nut allergies to consider, she advised that sweetened condensed milk could be used instead of the peanut butter.:-))

Oh wait, I feel really stupid, are these intended for humans, despite the title!

Yes, definitely intended for human consumption - IMO the title comes about because of all the seeds.:-))

I've been making a similar recipe (also called birdseed bar) since the late 70s.It uses sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, chopped mixed nuts and sultanas, and the mix that holds it all together is 100g butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1/2 cup brown sugar.It's yummy and I have never found it too sweet.
