1. As I noted in another post, that is a particular (modern) kind of Hulwa.
The quoted passage is analogous to saying "candy is really just bars of
milk chocolate with almonds." That is a kind of candy, not candy in general.

2. I don't have a period recipe for halva, although I have a period recipe
that comes out vaguely similar, so I don't know if it is a period variety
of hulwa.

3. The particular hulwa I was referring to, which is in the Miscellany, is
a period islamic version of divinity.
