Does this taste bitter? Tahini and cocoa aren’t very sweet flavours.

  You can always add a spoon of raw honey and some raw vanilla powder if you like it sweeter.

interesting, not sure if my kids would like it though. I do love Nutella but not at all on bread, only by the spoonful or in a dessert of some sort. May be worth a try though.

As much as I love chocolate, and I do very much, I’m not a fan of it as a spread. Much prefer it in a block!!!

Interesting using peanut butter to make the spread. Can still remember when this was a spread for special reasons as mum considered chocolate spread a treat.

The tahini is quite hard to mix. Mine at least! Do you mix it with anything else to make it softer?
