Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?

Absolutely! Honey works beautifully - just use the same amount. The flavor will be slightly more floral, which I actually love with the tahini. Agave nectar works too if you're keeping it vegan.

How long does tahini chocolate dip keep?

Stored in the fridge in an airtight container, it stays perfect for 2 weeks. I've kept it for 3 weeks before (shh!) and it was still delicious, though the texture gets a bit thicker over time. Just stir well before using.

Why did my dip separate?

Don't panic! Tahini naturally separates - just whisk it back together. If it's really stubborn, add a teaspoon of warm water while whisking. This happens to me every time I use tahini straight from the fridge.

Can I make this nut-free?

You're in luck - tahini is sesame-based, so this is naturally nut-free! Just check that your other ingredients (especially the cocoa powder) are processed in nut-free facilities if allergies are a concern.

Is this sweet enough for kids?

My 6-year-old devours it, but if your crew prefers sweeter treats, you can bump up the maple syrup to 1/4 cup. Taste as you go - I always let my daughter do the "sweetness test" before we call it done!
