How do you store chocolate-coated palace halva?
Keep chocolate-coated palace halva sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Warm conditions can soften or melt the coating; after opening, follow the package instructions and close the wrapper securely.
Can you make chocolate-coated palace halva at home?

Does chocolate-coated palace halva contain sesame?
Yes. Its tahini-based centre contains sesame, so chocolate-coated palace halva is not suitable for someone with a sesame allergy. If you are serving it to others, keep the packaging available so ingredients can be checked.
Is chocolate-coated palace halva healthy to eat every day?

What is Chocolate-coated palace halva?
