Meaning “sweet” in Arabic, halva is a traditional confection popular in the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and southeast Asia. Known for its tender, grainy-flaky texture, halva is usually served in slices carved from a block, and is prepared in different ways worldwide (tahini being a common component). When we tried New York-based Seed + Mill’s pure, minimal-ingredient Toasted Sesame Halva, we thought of pairing it with our 70% chocolate in bite-sized bonbon form. Rachel Simons, co-founder of Seed + Mill, was eager to collaborate, and we began nearly a year of kitchen experimentation, resulting in a bonbon that spotlights sesame halva’s earthiness and texture, complemented by two of our bean-to-bar chocolates.

To create this seven-piece bonbon set, we cut Seed + Mill halva into squares; layer them over creamy, mellow 70% Tumaco, Colombia chocolate-cardamom ganache; then enrobe the cubes in our classically chocolatey 70% House Blend chocolate. Each bite progresses through smooth, flaky, and sweet: Sesame melts in the mouth, and cardamom notes in the velvety ganache unite nutty and chocolatey flavors.
