Carob Halvah

2 cups seseme seeds
1/4 cup raw carob powder
1/2 cup raw honey
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract or ground vanilla bean
**I used a combination of vanilla and almond extract and it was very yummy. If you use mint, use less--maybe 1/2 tsp.

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until it forms a ball. Press into a small flat pan. Cut in squares. Freeze and then serve. Keep it in your freezer for a perfect after dinner dessert treat. Note: Seseme seeds are one of the highest foods in calcium. They have been found to assist the body toward recovering from allergies and calium supports many other important functions of the body.
