Halva

Steps

• Heated 2 cups honey to 240F

• Heated 1.5 cups honey to 140F (overshot 120F)

• Added 1 vanilla bean + orange zest

• Chocolate variation:

  • Added 1 cup shaved chocolate

• Mixed together for ~5 minutes

• Poured into parchment paper lined pan

• Let cool at room temperature for ~2 hours, then fridge

Results

• Taste good but texture horrible! Sticky, tacky, fudgy. I think using honey was a mistake. I'll try this recipe next time, mostly because the photo looks like what I'm after: flaky.
