FAQs About Tahini Rice Crispy Treats

Can I make this without chocolate?

Absolutely! You can leave out the chocolate layer entirely or swap it with a drizzle of warm tahini or melted coconut butter. This gives a cleaner, more subtle flavor while keeping the treat naturally sweet and satisfying.

How do I store these?

Place the treats in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days to maintain their texture. For longer storage, wrap and freeze them for up to one month. Let thaw slightly before serving for the best taste and texture.
