Sunflower Halva

A delicious, nourishing treat for the whole family! Halva is enjoyed in many countries, and it comes in all sorts of varieties. Here — as in Belarus and Ukraine — the most popular kind is sunflower halva, made from sunflower seeds you can easily pick up at any store (and that many people grow themselves in their gardens). The recipe is simple enough that any sweet tooth new to candy-making can pull it off.
