“I am not a huge fan of tahini, but these bars turned out to be nice companion to my afternoon coffee. They’re simple and easy to make. And, on top of that, if you keep in mind that tahini is good for your health, rich in antioxidants, and has anti-inflammatory compounds, you’ll enjoy those bars a bit more (at least I did).” – Marija
