These Tahini Chocolate Bars are a delicious and nutritious snack that combines the rich, decadent flavor of chocolate with the nutty goodness of tahini. Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds, which is a staple ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. It is a good source of protein, healthy fats, and minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium.
Chocolate and sesame are a very good match, the tahini paste and the browned butter add a very subtle nutty flavor, which makes these bars a real treat! The bars have a crunchy texture and a lightly sweet, spiced flavor that goes perfectly alongside a cup of tea or coffee.
How to make Tahini Chocolate Bars
These bars are easy and quick to prepare. Start by making the browned butter. In a saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt all the butter, whisking frequently. Continue to cook the butter for about 5-8 minutes, until it turns golden brown. Foam will subside and milk solids will form on the bottom of the pan. It will smell buttery and nutty. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and sieve the melted butter into a heatproof bowl to stop the cooking process.
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C), and line with parchment paper an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan.
In a bowl, mix together the tahini paste, brown sugar, and browned butter. Add in the egg and the egg yolk, and mix well until incorporated. Then add in all the dry ingredients and mix until combined. At the end add in the chocolate chips. Bake for about 25 minutes, until golden. Leave to cool completely.
Use a sharp knife tocut it into squares.
