About Halvah
Wikipedia Article About Halvah on Wikipedia
The word halva is used to describe two distinctly different types of confections.
One type of candy called halva is popular in Greece and neighboring countries, and is made with semolina wheat, sugar or honey, and butter or vegetable oil. Raisins, dates or other dried fruits are often included. Though the Indian halva is considered to be essentially a "Greek" confection, it is famous in Cyprus too.
