We’ve taken the traditional Israeli candy and turned it into a sweet spread you can put on cookies, bread, pretzels…anything.
The best quality ingredients are key to getting a great tasting halva spread. Opt for the best quality tahini and superior quality Dutch cocoa powder (like Valrhona brand).
Once made, store this spread in a covered jar or container and store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. But with its deliciously addictive quality, it will probably be eaten before then.

Bittersweet Chocolate and Sea Salt Halva Spread
Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate melted
- 2 tablespoons Dutch process cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Silan date honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- Garnish: sea salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir to combine tahini, chocolate, cocoa powder, honey, vanilla, and salt.
- Transfer spread to a covered jar or container and store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks.











Regular honey won’t give it quite the same flavor, but it should work, if you can find a darker, richer honey it would be best.
