These refreshing morsels make a great appetizer or snack if you’re entertaining. Easy to make, easy to enjoy, and light on the stomach. Shared between just a couple people, they also make for an awesome light lunch. The combination of raisins, tahini, and chili makes for a really neat texture and flavoring.
