🍫 How to Make Tahini Fudge
Step 1. Line an 11" X 7" or an 8" X 8" pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Spray lightly with cooking spray and set aside until needed. Meanwhile, add chocolate and butterscotch chips into a medium saucepan. Pour condensed milk, coconut oil, and tahini paste over them.
Step 2. Place the saucepan over low heat, and stir until all the ingredients have melted together. This should take less than 10 minutes.

This sounds very interesting. Does the tahini change the fudge flavor? Can you taste it?

Hi Kelly,
It doesn't change that flavor as much as I'd hoped. That might be due to the dark chocolate and butterscotch chips I used. Next time I will use white chocolate to see how that changes it up. I didn't want to use more than 1/4 cup because I was afraid they wouldn't set up. Next time I'm kicking it up to 1/3 of a cup and white chocolate chips and see what happens. However, they are quite delicious! Maybe we can meet up for coffee this week and I'll bring some for you to sample.
