Middle Eastern Chocolate/Sesame Dessert from Trader Joe's?
I once had this amazing chocolate/sesame swirl dessert from Trader Joe's and I'm having trouble finding it again. I don't remember the name, but here's a rough description:
- flaky, buttery chocolate bar, about as dense as mild cheddar cheese
- milk chocolate marbled with tahini or sesame paste of some kind
If anyone has a recipe or at least a name of this awesome middle eastern treat, please let me know. Thanks!

I think you mean Halvah....a dessert predominantly made of crushed sesame seeds & honey -usually comes in vanilla, chocolate, marble, pistachio, even chocolate covered. You could try a store that favors Middle Eastern cuisine and try it fresh! It's excellent!
P.S. there is also a company that makes halvah that has been around for ages called "Joyva" ..
