Duke Cariadoc suggested to Drake to make Hulwa out of his "molasas honey". I just recently tasted Hulwa for the first time and it was quite good, if a bit pasty.
I have a question though. What excactly is hulwa? On the ingredients list for the candy it said tahini, hulwa....etc. Is it a flavoring? Does it come from a plant? Or am I missunderstanding/missremembering what I read?

Hulwa (or Halva as on the can I puchased) is a confection of sesame seed and sesame paste that is sweetened with honey and or sugars, then flavored however desired. I have tried vanilla and chocolate. It is rich, sweet, and quite uniquely textureful. Can't eat more than a tablespoon or two of it. It is a Middle Eastern confection that can be had near the tahini or sometimes near the cheeses in farmers' markets.
