Best Halva Candy of 2025

"As someone who enjoys tahini, I found these halva snacks to be really enjoyable! They are pre-packaged and portion-controlled, which I love since I’m not into cooking. They fit perfectly into my low-carb diet, and they satisfy my sweet tooth with their moderate sweetness and nutrient density."

"I bought this as a gift for a halva enthusiast, and he told me it’s great! The convenience of the individually wrapped snacks makes them ideal for enjoying anytime."

"I was excited to try this halva when I saw it as a recommendation. However, I found it to be not normal. The inclusion of hydrogenated vegetable oil was unexpected and gave it a weird creaminess that I don’t associate with halva. I’ll be taking it to the Humane Society, hoping others will enjoy it!"

“I hadn’t tasted this in years and couldn’t find it locally. I’m thrilled with this product; it’s just as I remembered. Fresh, well-packaged, and great flavor!”

“I remember enjoying this at my husband’s grandma’s apartment in the Bronx. It melts in your mouth and is perfect for a quick energy boost. I’ll definitely order it again!”

“Joyva makes the best halvah! I tried other brands, but they just don’t compare. The cool tin keeps it fresh for snacking.”

"I regret not buying more; this snack is addicting!"

"I hoped for the old-fashioned taste from my childhood, but this isn't it."

"I love Halvah! The packaging is great, and the size is just right, but I wish there was more sesame flavor."

"These sugar-free halva snacks are delicious! After having bariatric surgery, I missed regular halva. These satisfy my cravings and are a great portion size. I did experience some oil seeping out during hot weather, but otherwise, they’ve been just fine."

"I was skeptical about sugar-free halva, but I'm thrilled to say these are amazing! They’re sweet enough without being overpowering. I’ll definitely be ordering more."

"While I found them to be too sweet personally, I appreciate the effort that went into making a sugar-free version of halva. It's nice to see healthier options available."

"This is exactly what I was looking for! The taste and texture are perfect for me. I ordered another 12 bars, and the delivery was quick and well-packaged."

"I remember Joyva Halvah from my childhood, and it's hard to find in my area. These bars are a great way to enjoy it, but I noticed they were exceptionally oily, even on the outside of the wrapper. Still, I'm grateful to find it at a reasonable price!"

"Since I was a young boy, I've loved Joyva Halvah. I decided to buy this 12-bar pack on Amazon since they're hard to find in stores. The quick service and delicious taste make it a great choice!"

“I ordered these individually wrapped halvas for a women's dinner at church, and everyone loved them! I usually get halva from Israel and these were the best little dessert treats to share with friends. I really enjoyed the variety and found them to be a great value for the money!”

“I first tried Achva halva during my recent trip to Israel and was impressed by its great taste and soft texture. It's less sweet than others I've had. The minis are the perfect size for a quick treat with coffee. I really wish they sold pistachio flavor alone—but maybe it's for the best that they don’t!”

“I tasted one piece from the bakery that was so fresh and delicious, so I decided to try this product. While it tasted a bit processed compared to the bakery version, it's about as close as I can get.”

"I purchased this because I always loved it as a kid and was missing it. It was really good, pretty much as I remember it, but I think because of age I'm no longer into really sweet things, so this seemed very sweet to me."

"I had been wanting halva for some time and had not had much success finding it near me. I finally found some at a Greek restaurant in Pioneer Square in Seattle and was disappointed by the freshness, texture and taste. I took a chance and bought this pistachio halva online, not really expecting much, but was very pleasantly surprised by the freshness, texture, and taste. I liked it so much that I plan to buy another one for myself. Excellent!"

"My new favorite - tried the marble. I've always bought Joyva and enjoyed it. This is far less oily and a firmer consistency, so I'm switching. For me, just the right sweetness and texture. Great find! Just watch your portions. The whole bar can disappear in one big Halvah Fest and it's a BIG bar."

"I found the Emirelli brand halva to be incredibly rich and flavorful. I had to exercise a lot of self-control to avoid eating it all at once!"

"This halva is delicious and tender—not at all like the hard, machine-made varieties. It truly melts in my mouth, and I cherish the memories it brings back from my childhood when my mother would drive from Philadelphia to New York City for special ingredients."

"I was curious about this halva, and I must say, I absolutely love it! It's so decadent, and just a small piece satisfies my chocolate cravings. Plus, I appreciate that it's locally made and contains no palm oil."

"Oh sweet baby Jesus, this is DELICIOUS! It has a slightly bitter note that's just right, perfectly sweet, and the texture is amazing. The puffed quinoa pieces really enhance it. It's a bit pricey for the amount, but it's so tasty!"

"I recently tried HEBEL & CO Organic Vanilla Halva, and I was truly delighted! The organic ingredients give me peace of mind, and the vanilla flavor is just exquisite. Its melt-in-your-mouth texture is unique, and it's the perfect size for sharing. I love how versatile it is; I can enjoy it on its own, or use it in recipes!"

"I found the flavor combination to be quite confusing. It was mildly sweet, but I kept getting hints of something savory. The texture was nice, transitioning from a cotton candy-like feel to a nut butter paste. While I enjoyed the sweetness, the overall taste was a bit odd for me, but I think I like halva, just not this flavor."

"Halvah has been a favorite of mine since childhood. It's hard to find in regular grocery stores. When it arrives, it may look oily, but that doesn't mean it's spoiled. Just refrigerate it, and the oily residue will disappear. Seed + Mill makes delicious Halva; I've tried many brands, and this one is my go-to. If you've never had Halva before, you might not love it, but if you're like me and crave it, I highly recommend this brand."

"In my opinion, this Halva is the best—not too sweet, has a nice texture, and is absolutely delicious."

"I've enjoyed halvah since childhood, but since moving to Austin, the only option has been prepackaged Joyva bars. Explaining halvah to grocery stores here is a challenge! I remember the fresh deli halvah from NY fondly. This is a guilty pleasure for me; I’m not a big candy fan, but in moderation, I will order this because it's the best!"
