Healthy Chocolate Tahini Fudge Bites
- Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
- Yield: 12 to 16 bites 1x
Description
Rich, creamy Healthy Chocolate Tahini Fudge Bites made with dark chocolate, tahini, and a natural sweetener. This no-bake treat sets up silky and sliceable, perfect for meal prep snacks, after-dinner bites, or a healthier chocolate fix.
Ingredients
1/2 cup tahini (120 g), well stirred
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, 70%+ (85 g)
2 tbsp coconut oil (28 g)
3 tbsp maple syrup (45 ml), plus more to taste
1 tsp vanilla extract (5 ml)
1/4 tsp fine sea salt (1 g)
Optional: 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (5 g) for deeper chocolate
Optional: 2 tbsp chopped pistachios or pumpkin seeds (15 g) for crunch
Optional: flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
1. Line an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) pan with parchment paper, or set out a silicone bite mold.
2. Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to a heat-safe bowl. Melt gently over a double boiler, or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
3. Whisk in the tahini until fully combined and glossy.
4. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla, and fine sea salt. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
5. If using cocoa powder or mix-ins, stir them in now.
6. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle flaky salt if using.
7. Refrigerate 2 hours (softer bite) or freeze 45 to 60 minutes (firmer bite) until set.
8. Lift out, slice into 12 to 16 bites, and serve chilled. Store extras in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Tahini tip: If your tahini is very thick, warm it for 10 seconds to loosen before mixing.
Chocolate tip: Melt slowly and stir often to prevent grainy texture or seizing.
Texture control: Refrigerate for creamy, truffle-like bites. Freeze for firmer, snappier fudge.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 7 days or freeze up to 3 months. Thaw 5 minutes before eating.
Diet swaps: For vegan, use maple syrup and dairy-free dark chocolate. For nut-free, use sunflower seed butter instead of tahini.

Key Ingredients & Notes
Tahini
Tahini is the star here. Use smooth, well stirred tahini for the creamiest texture. Brands with just sesame seeds and salt work best. Tahini adds healthy fats, minerals, and that signature nutty depth. If your tahini is thick, warm it slightly before mixing.
Dark Chocolate
Choose dark chocolate with at least 70 percent cocoa. This keeps the bites rich without being overly sweet. For guidance on choosing quality chocolate, King Arthur Baking offers excellent insights on cocoa percentages and flavor balance.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil helps the fudge firm up without baking. Use refined coconut oil if you prefer no coconut flavor, or unrefined for subtle aroma.
Natural Sweetener
Maple syrup gives a smooth caramel note, while honey adds floral warmth. Both work beautifully. Start with less and adjust to taste.
Sea Salt
A small pinch sharpens the chocolate flavor and balances sweetness. Do not skip it.
How To Make Healthy Chocolate Tahini Fudge Bites
Step 1
Line an 8 by 8 inch pan or a silicone mold with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 2
Add dark chocolate and coconut oil to a heat safe bowl. Melt gently over a double boiler or in the microwave using 20 second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Step 3
Whisk in tahini until fully incorporated. The mixture should look thick, shiny, and uniform.
Step 4
Stir in maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or freeze for 45 minutes until firm but sliceable.
Step 7
Lift out, slice into 12 to 16 bites, and enjoy.
Pro Tips For Success

Variations & Substitutions
- Nut free: Swap tahini with sunflower seed butter
