Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dark chocolate morsels or chips
  • 1 cup tahini
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 4 Tbsp. chopped walnuts or other favorite nuts optional

  • Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave for 45 seconds, stir and then microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between, until chocolate is melted.
