How to Make Carob Halvah

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup tahini, ½ cup honey, ¼ cup carob powder, 2 tablespoons wheat germ, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
Divide the mixture in half.
Place each half onto a separate sheet of waxed paper. Shape each half into a log approximately 1 inch thick.
Wrap each log tightly in waxed paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once firm, unwrap and cut into 1-inch thick slices.
Variation: For a lighter halvah, omit the carob powder from one half of the recipe before mixing.
