    These dark chocolate tahini cups are a riff of the classic peanut butter cups, but switched up with a tahini filling sweetened just with honey! Peanut butter and chocolate will always have a special place in my heart, but there's something about tahini and chocolate that feels unique and elevated. They're the perfect no bake dessert and made with just 5 ingredients!

    Baking in grams

    All of the recipes on this blog are carefully developed to create incredibly delicious baked goods that you can easily recreate in your own kitchen with success. The only way this is possible is to standardize the way ingredients are measured - by weight. Volume measurements are extremely inaccurate and leave room for significant errors. Not all measuring cups are made equally, so your one cup of flour will be different from my one cup of flour. By providing precise measurements in grams (aside from minor ingredients, which are given in tsp/tbsp), I can ensure that you can make the recipe accurately and with less cleanup! All you need is this kitchen scale. 

    If this still isn't enough to convince you, I have provided volume measurements in the recipe card. If you are interested in understanding the conversions, this is the best conversion chart.

    But trust me, once you try baking in grams you'll never turn back!

    Happy baking! x
