    Okay so the if it didn’t have Calorie’s thread made me discover pistachio baklava and now I need it. It also got me looking up all these other Turkish pastries made with pistachio and I need them all too LOL. Also came across these things that look amazing,

    Wondering if anyone has has sesame pistachio bars like this? I think technically called halva. What do they taste like? Are they crispy like a butterfinger or more dense like sticky taffy or like a shortbread cookie texture? Or what would you compare the texture to? How sweet are they? If you bend one does it break or stretch? Lol trying to get an idea before I spend money ordering all these random pistachio things.esvifn8xj71i.jpeg

    Halva is my all time favorite treat. It is VERY sweet and a little bit goes a long way. The texture is crumbly, does not stretch at all. Breaks very easily. I can't think of anything else that halva is like because it's so unique. I love it. I've never tried the pistachio flavor of this particular one, but the plain one is just like any other halva.

    Halva is halva. Super sweet and flaky. You take a bite and it simply melts in your mouth since it pretty much all sugar and tahini :)

    Ugh thanks guys! NOW I have to get them though :D Just ordered they sound incredible and I have a crazy pistachio craving.

    You know these are not made from pistachios right? They will just have the nuts chopped into the halva.

    Yes but I LOVE sesame too so it sounds incredible.

    I love these, especially the black pepper. I'm definitely not good at eating one serving though!

    I think these are awful. The only flavors I like are the Wasabi Ranch and the Barbecue. Everything else tastes so plain.

    Yes, I said that before, lol! That is why it's my favorite bday cake flavored bar :).


    Wish I could attend this... looking forward to seeing the new items https://sweetsandsnacks.com/your-year-starts-here/be-inspired/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=sse20&utm_content=cn3_slideshow&fbclid=IwAR1SkPi41X_7HYkJt4-taIsdA5w2RkLT1SPNkVqYlksgn_C-n07_6ltwqAw

    Tried pistachio Baklava for the first time. Bought two kinds. THIS ONE WAS FANTASTIC 10/10!!!!!!!!! Super flaky on top. The top was crispy/flaky and the bottom was more dense/soft/sticky. LOVED the thick layer of pistachios in these as well as the topping. Wonderful strong pistachio and honey flavor to it. I can't believe I've never had this before but pistachio baklava is my new favorite, lol. It is VERY sweet though. One square was very satisfying. The honey is sooooooo sweet.

    I also bought these because I liked the idea of prepackaged 130 calorie snacks and they looked amazing on the box. However, they sure did not look anything like pictured. There were no pistachios to be found anywhere on top like they are shown. I couldn't even see any inside. I did not taste ANY pistachio flavor whatsoever. They were not very flaky and were pretty disappointing. Would not buy again. They were super sweet but just tasted like a honey pastry heart without frosting. 1/10

    These were very underwhelming and I would not buy. They caught my eye when I saw on instagram I think. The carob pb had barely any PB. I like a MUCH higher PB:chocolate/carob ratio. The PB&J was the better of the two which I didn't expect. The inside was a tart strawberry taste. It didn't remind me of PB&J, more of chocolate bar filled with fruit and I love the chocolate/strawberry combo.

    I saw the ad for IHOP's cereal pancakes and milkshakes today at the gym and thought of all of you! There's Cap'n Crunch, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Lucky Charms.
