To counteract the slight bitterness of the cocoa, Melton’s pumpkin pie filling also incorporates smooth, nutty tahini.

Each bar includes toasted kataifi — thin strands of shredded phyllo dough pastry — pistachio and tahini paste that’s all mixed together and encased in milk chocolate.

I'm a sucker for tahini, brown butter, labneh and miso in any context, so I'm quite optimistic about many of these terrific-sounding options.

Meanwhile, in another small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Yogurt spiked with garlic, tahini and lemon ties everything together.
