Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use creamy tahini for a smooth and creamy filling.
• If the tahini mixture is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate it for a few minutes before shaping.
• You can sprinkle some sea salt or crushed nuts on top of the chocolate coating for added flavor and texture.

Storage and Serving

• Store the tahini buckeye candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Serve the candy at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
