How do I get the best matcha flavor and color in these caramels?

Adjust the amount of matcha powder to your taste; use more for a stronger flavor and a more vibrant green color, as suggested in the recipe.

What is the purpose of cacao butter in this raw caramel recipe?

Cacao butter provides the essential creamy texture and helps the caramels set firmly when chilled, acting as the primary fat and binder.

Can I substitute tahini with another nut butter?

While tahini adds a unique earthy note, you could try a mild nut butter like cashew butter, though the flavor profile of the caramels will change slightly.

How should I store these raw matcha caramels?

Once set, store the caramels in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain their firm texture and freshness.

Do I need special molds for these caramels?

Silicone molds make removal easy, but you can also use a cling wrap-lined container and cut the set mixture into pieces.
