So I ordered them again. They are excellent healthy choice instead of several different chocolate bars that I don’t really want to mention on here, so yes, they are chocolate covered but it’s a very good tasting chocolate OK well I hope this helps some people make a good decision. My second box should arriving any day, and by the way, the price is very reasonable
The chocolate coating did not survive the cross country trip from Florida to California in the middle of summer. (I should have thought about that before ordering!) Not only was it melted and coated the inside of the wrapper, the chocolate lost it's temper and never became solid again- even with refrigeration! It was like it was coated wth chocolate fudge syrup- gooey, sticky and smeared everywhere.
The halva itself was either pretty old-or also reacted to the heat during transportation. The consitancy was like a more solid, sweet lumpy oatmel and it crumbled easily and didnt cut smoothly with a sharp knife. The corners and ends were hard/chewy and sticky (kinda like a "bad" malted milk ball that gets soft and chewey rather than staying airy and crispy) and it was not the usual halva inside- which is normally a smooth yet granular, crinkly consistancy. This stuff wasnt.
There was no expiration date on the packages, so couldnt tell if it was fresh or expired merchandise.
Would I buy it again? yes-probably would try buying it again- in the cooler weather- or buy more locally (cant seem to run into it locally, but I havent really tried too hard!) Will contact seller to discuss disappointing condition and revisit this review later...
************ FOLLOW UP *************
Was contacted by the seller and was given a 100% refund and an apology. It was very much appreciated. Even tho this purchase was a 1-star bust and a major disappointment, I would give the seller a 5-star rating for customer service and great business ethics.
Thank you... I WILL order from you again!
Now that I’m a grandfather, I thought I would give it a new try. I was shocked at how much I liked it… not too sweet, lovely texture.
I guess my tastebuds have changed over the past 50 years.
