I’d like to thank Halvas Drapetsonas representative in Germany, who made it possible to taste such sweet treats as Tahini Confection with Biscuit & Cocoa for halva aficionados even in more distant European countries. Otherwise it would be quite complicated to buy online the production of this famous Greek workshop 🙂 So, just after 10 days from order, I got Tahini Confection with Biscuit & Cocoa made by Halvas Drapetsonas on my table.
I was very curious to try this unusual “mix” of cookies and halva with cocoa, and it proved all my expectations, because it was simply… gorgeous! Let‘s admit the fact that this divine dessert was really sweet, but the overall taste occupied all my senses. It was good looking, soft and quite wet, and full of crunchy little pieces of chocolate-coated biscuits. Every bit of this halva left me wanting more & more of it!
Still, there could have been more bitterness (or less sweetness) in this Tahini Confection with Biscuit & Cocoa. Then it would have been just perfect (for me). Anyway, it was one of the fastest eaten halva in our home, this fact says a lot!
