    Tahini comes in a can or bottle. Most grocery stores carry it. It is very similar to peanut butter but doesn't come anyway but smooth, no chunky etc. Basically it's ground up sesame seeds. - 2/13/09

    These were sooooo good! I took them to work, and my colleagues said they'll pay me to make them some more! Hard to stop at just one, though... - 3/6/09

    Can you use peanut butter instead of the Tahini? Guess it's obvious I don't know anything about Tahini!! - 1/9/11
