Many of us grew up eating halva all alone and it is truly perfect this way, but we are sharing some creative ideas for adding halva to dishes for extra flavor and to wow your guests.

1. Use halva as a topping for breakfast.

Whether you are having a smoothie, oatmeal, yogurt and granola, pancakes or waffles, top with halva for an extra special start to your day.

2. Bake with halva

Add halva to your favorite cookie or brownie recipe. When halva goes into the oven it adds a unique texture and nuttiness

3. Add halva to a cheese board

Make your cheese board fancy with grapes, figs or dates, nuts and halva.

4. Jazz up a simple green salad

This may sound strange but we like to add a bit of halva to a green salad with balsamic vinaigrette and a bit of fresh pomegranate. Don't knock it until you have tried it. Check out our recipe here.

5. Add to healthy sweet snacks for another layer of richness

If you are making any kind of raw brownie add halva as a crust or roll energy balls in halva dust. Here are a few examples.
