Walnut Halva
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Walnuts are very popular and widely available, so home cooks use them in various dishes: making sauces, adding to baked goods, or using as a coating for cutlets. They also make delicious halva-like candy (kozinaki) from walnuts. The result is a tasty treat without preservatives, flavor enhancers, or artificial flavors—safe even for children. Serve chilled.
