Packaging of Halvas Makedonikos with Cocoa by Haitoglou Bros

Makedonikos Halvas With Cocoa By Haitoglou Bros. (est. 1924)

So I finally got Makedonikos Halvas With Cocoa By Haitoglou Bros.! As it is widely sold online, there was an impression that this halva is one of the most popular. And now I understand why people like it so much!

It is pretty sweet and crunchy, but at the same time bitter enough. You will find plenty of cocoa in this halva, what adds even more goodness to the taste. To tell the truth, the texture of discussed desssert is quite soft, so it has to be kept in some cool place. If not, it becomes a little bit glossy and oily, so you shouldn’t leave it on the table for a long time.

But the fact is obvious – Makedonikos Halvas With Cocoa is nearly perfect! So I definitely recommend it to everyone.
