Tahini Butter Cups

Have you ever tried sweet tahini fudge? They are amazing. I had handmade ones in a local Lebanese grocery once, looked for the ingredients. It said raw sugar, tahini and salt. Came back home and tried to make it at home, it was HEAVEN. Bitter, Sweet at the same time, they are so good. I am still working on a sugar-free version.

But, guess what -that didn’t stop me from making these amazing cuties. I gifted myself cacao butter. They smell amazing. Words wouldn’t do justice if I were to explain the smell. I made lot of homemade chocolates, peanut butter cups which inspired me to make these tahini cups.
