Peanut halva
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The halva turns out to be very caloric, so it's difficult to eat more than one piece. Yet, how wonderfully it complements a glass of cold milk! Rich and aromatic, this delicious halva will turn out great at home—it's much healthier than the kind you find on store shelves, and fresh halva simply melts in your mouth! Give it a try. The ready dessert can be served at the table.
