Easy and quick to make, nice flavor and texture. Mine turned out about half as thick also using an 8 x 8 pan.
Happy you enjoyed the recipe Michelle!
These look so amazing. If I had some tahini I’d be making them right now! I’m on a date kick lately and am looking for more recipes like this one to try! PS: Your photos are lovely 🙂
Hi Danielle!
Thank you so much! If you’d like you can always substitute some almond or peanut butter instead of tahini if you have it on hand. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
I love the moody vibe – I tend to lean toward those in the colder weather too, but mine are usually just because the days are shorter and I never have time to photograph my recipes when they’re light outside 😉 Also, that caramel frosting looks SO GOOD!
Hi Leslie!
Thank you! I definitely feel the same about winter! The shorter darker days almost automatically make for moodier shots don’t they!
Oh my gosh, these look like gooey perfection! YUM! Can’t wait to try that salted “caramel” frosting!
Hi Maria,
Thank you! The icing is the absolute best part I’m sure you’ll love it! 🙂
I love these photos! You definitely made me crave something chocolatey!
Thanks Anne! I hope you enjoy the recipe!
