Chocolate Tahini Crunch Bars

2 cups (340 grams) chocolate chips (, or chocolate bars (if using bars be sure to go by weight and not volume).)

1 cup (240 ml) tahini

½ teaspoon fine sea salt

1 cup (40 grams) crispy rice cereal

1 cup (90 grams) rolled oats (, gluten-free if necessary or swap for any other mix-in)

¾ cup (125 grams) chopped nuts, seeds or raw buckwheat groats

½ cup (75 grams) raisins or cranberries (, or any other dried fruit (chop larger dried fruits like dates or cherries))

Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment paper or cling wrap, leaving some excess around the sides to act as handles.
Put the chocolate, tahini and salt into a large saucepan and melt together over a very gentle heat. Stir occasionally until totally melted and combined. Or you can melt very slowly and gently in a microwave. Use a very low temperature and check every 20 - 30 seconds as chocolate burns easily in the microwave.
Remove from the heat and stir in the other ingredients.
Spoon into the prepared tin and level the top.
Refrigerate until completely set then carefully lift out and cut into pieces with a large sharp knife. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
