keefe, and majoun. how was it made? this was what i wanted to know. they were kind enough to demonstrate. keefe is first chopped into gran fine granules and slowly melted into but around chocolate over low heat, to toast it and release the psych trophic goodies within. the binder element is slow cooking in the pan, combination of spices are plernded with cashews, almonds, walnuts and dried fruit. this will be the framework to suspend the thc-laden goodness in the next step.
