Delish! I love Halva and had I known how easy it is to make, I would have it more often! This is so tasty - but I think you need to use a good Tahini from a Mediterranean store (which I luckily had in the pantry!). Next time, I think I'll try flavoring half with cocoa and make a swirled Halva. Yum! Made for SWT 2018. Team Incredibles.

This was a wonderful snack. It's pretty easy to make, too. I have never made it before, so this was a new experience for me. Thanks, sheepdoc. Made for SWT 2018 (Malta).
