Ingredients

200g dark chocolate chips
125g butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
2 eggs
160g jar Al’ Fez Natural Tahini Paste, stirred well*
1 cup plain flour

Method

Butter and line a 20cm x 30cm slab tin. Reserve 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Melt the remaining chocolate and butter together in a large microwave-safe bowl on Medium for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in brown sugar, vanilla, eggs and 3/4 of the tahini until smooth. Stir in flour. Pour into slab tin and sprinkle with reserved chocolate chips. Dollop with remaining tahini and decoratively swirl into the mixture with a fork. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes until just firm to the touch. Allow to cool in the tin. Serve cut into small squares.

Tips

* The sesame seed sediment in tahini may naturally settle to the bottom of the jar, so mix with a fork before briskly shaking the sealed jar until the tahini is smooth.
