Franzeluta Halvah Waffle Cookies, 10.6 oz (300g)

Large-format waffle sheets from Franzeluta --- a Moldovan bakery founded in Chișinău in 1947 --- filled with a 19% halva cream made from sunflower seeds and cocoa. The crispy wafer exterior contrasts with the earthy, sesame-adjacent halva filling for a distinctly Eastern European snacking experience. The whole block breaks easily into portions for sharing.
