Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toast the sesame seeds by spreading them on the lined baking sheet and placing them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the honey, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the toasted sesame seeds, rolled oats, and any optional chopped nuts or dried fruits. Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 8x8-inch baking dish. Use a spatula to press the mixture down firmly into an even layer.
Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges.
Allow the mixture to cool completely in the dish (for at least 1 hour) before cutting into bars or squares.
Store the Sesame Snackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
