If you want to try proper Halva then you need to get it from the Kosher section of a supermarket, or for an even better experience, a proper Jewish shop that stocks it.

Halva is great, but you’re only supposed to have a small amount of it at a time because it is sweet and sticky. It shouldn’t be powdery though.

Hey, I’m addicted to this halva. I eat it everyday, I buy it in 8.8 oz boxes and it at least one a day. I should to be fat but I’m not. I’m still 5’6″ and 159 lb, my belly looks just a little better then before my addiction start (4 months ago). This product comes from Poland and sometimes isn’t available, then I make a ride around all stores in polish neighborhood in Chicago to find at least one bar, sometimes I can’t, if I can’t I get halvasick. I can’t think about anything else than halva, for serious it’s not so bad with me, it’s not a cocaine but I prefer to have it daily at home, I love only this one flavor, there is few others, some is good other not but the pest one is vanilla with peanuts, raisins and cocoa powder. GO HALVA !!!!

Yes, it is our Polish thing, but not for everyone. For ex. I dislike chalwa in contrast to my mother.

I tried halva years ago, bought it from the Central Market here in Adelaide. I liked it, but after it was all gone I never had the urge to buy more.

“O smaku waniliowym z kakao” means “vanilla-flavoured [halva] WITH cocoa”. Those small one-letter words can be pretty important for the meaning ;-)

I adore halva! I’d love to be able to get it in a handy bar like this. I’ve only ever seen it in delis in tubs…

How can they put it in a purple wrapper if it’s not chocolate?! This is blasphemy!

Wow,I love halva very much…It’s awfully sweet but sometimes I cannot resist to buy it,especially the one with sultanas…It would be interesting to try this cocoa-one but I believe that the amount of cocoa should be a lot larger for the sesame not to overpower it.

My Polish grandmother used to give me halva. When I was a kid I loved it. Doubt I could manage much of it these days though.
