I loved this recipe when I gave it a try! Tahini (paste made from sesame seeds) is something I had used many times in hummus and other savoury dishes. I'd never used it in a sweet fudge recipe, and it is the base of this one! Unhulled tahini is best as hulled strips many of the nutrients. Tahini is a great source of calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron. It aids in liver detoxification. It's high in vitamin E and many of the B vitamins. It's easy to digest, and it's high in unsaturated fat. So to have an occasional square of this fudge, is much better for your body than any other kind of fudge out there! Enjoy!
