Special Greek Halva

Allison and I where traveling through Greece in the town of Ioannina and we discovered a really strange form of halva.  Apparently it's only available in this region, and it's only made by a few people.  Most forms of halva are opaque and brown, but this one is kind of transparent and "Jello" looking.  The texture when you bite into it is really unique too.  You'd think it would be gelatinous, but it's not, instead it's really smooth and it almost has a creamy consistency.  I'm not sure if I'd call it halva, having said that I'm not sure what the definition of halva really is, but I can say that this was a really tasty surprise.
