Rich dark nutty fudge packed with precious minerals.
Patty
3/4 c smooth peanut butter, almond butter, or a combination of nut butters (pepita, sunflower seed, cashew...)
1/4 c water
1/4 c black strap molasses
2 Tbsp honey (or agave nectar)
*3 Tbsp carob powder (or cocoa)
*2 Tbsp cocoa (or carob powder)
2 Tbsp ground flax seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
Place all ingredients in a sauce pan and mix together on low heat.
You only want to use the heat to soften the mixture, not to cook it.
Mix well.
Sprinkle enough black sesame seeds to cover the bottom of a square
pan. Press the warm mixture into the pan. Sprinkle more black sesame
seeds to cover the top. Gently press the seeds in with a piece of wax
paper/parchment/etc.
Cut into squares - a pastry scraper works great for this.
Cover and refrigerate.
You're rich!
* if you use all cocoa (5 Tbsp), you may want to add another Tbsp of honey, as carob is sweet and cocoa is bitter.

If you are using just cocoa powder do you use 2 TB in total or is it 5TB in total of either carob or cocoa powder?

If using all cocoa (and no carob), use 5 Tbsp cocoa. I just updated the recipe so it's hopefully more clear.
