Hey, What's This Halvah Stuff Anyway?

Halvah is an Eastern Mediterranean crumbly sweet confection candy thingy, that tastes delicious, but, is often made with flour and oil and not-so-good for you stuff like that. So, here we go again with a Raw alternative recipe that is easy to make and tastes great!

1 1/2 Cups of Raw Almonds
1/2 Cup Raw Tahini
3 Tablespoons of Raw Honey
1 teaspoon of Raw Vanilla
1 1/2 Tablespoons of Powdered Raw Cacao

Grind Almonds in a food processor until finely ground.
Add Honey, Tahini, and Vanilla, and mix together.
Remove 1/2 of the mixture and set aside.
Put the Raw Cacao powder in the other half and process well.
Take some Plain mixture and some Chocolate mixture and make 1" size balls (these should resemble a marbleizing pattern) after you make the Halvah balls, put in the freezer (covered, to protect against freezer burn) and wait about an hour or two and enjoy!

You can store these in the freezer, they don't really freeze that much, and if they're to hard for you, thaw them for a couple of minutes.    So that's what Raw Halvah is!   Stay Hungry.........Guy
