Sweeter and drier than most halvah I've tried

Sweeter and drier than most halvah I've tried
I don't eat a lot of sweets, but I recently had some halva (another brand) that reminded me of how much I like this kind of thing, so I thought I would try this two pound tub. I liked the idea that I could keep it on hand for the occasional snack, since it comes in a sturdy, resealable container that would keep it fresh.Unfortunately, the package arrived damaged. Although the plastic tub was well-wrapped in bubble wrap, Amazon had put it inside an unpadded envelope and it had apparently gotten dropped hard at some point in transit, because when I took off the bubble wrap, the plastic tub was cracked right across the bottom edge. The halva inside, however, was unharmed, so I just taped up the container with some package tape and commenced snacking.The halvah is fairly dry -- I don't think it had dried out because of the damaged packaging, but simply has a dry texture. Instead of scooping out or cutting out chunks, I've just been skimming some off with the edge of a spoon (it's dry, but not hard). The flavor is fine and the chocolate is not overwhelming, but I was sorry to find that this brand is a bit sweeter than others I've tried, as I try not to eat much sugar.However, this stuff is addictive and, when I'm just skimming off bits while I watch a video, it's all too easy to find I've eaten several ounces when I didn't intend to eat more than one. For those who like to eat a lot of halva and don't have to worry about the sugar content, this would be a good buy.
