Up here, to my knowledge, it's the other way - I am guessing
it's as much the distribution of the vermin as anything else.

They're pretty common in Asia, especially the tropical parts.
I think the first one I encountered was on Oahu, though, so I
figured you might have known.

You can have mounds of fun doing that, though.

So I was wondering what chocolate-covered carrot halwa would
be like:

Carrot Halwa Flowers
categories: Indian, fusion, candy
yield: 1 batch

1/2 c Wilton candy Melts (Light Cocoa or Dark Cocoa)
1/2 c carrot Halwa or as needed
Flower shaped Silicone mold

Melt the candy melts in microwave or using a
double boiler making sure the vessel does not
touch the water until creamy and smooth.

Use a teaspoon or pointed pastry brush to coat
some chocolate all around the inside cavity of
your molds. Make sure the centre is empty and
free for the filling. Use a dough scraper or
backside of a knife to scrape out any excess
chocolate from the top of the molds and
refrigerate 5 min.

Fill the inside with gajar (carrot) halwa
leaving some space for the chocolate layer
that will form the bottom of your chocolate
and again refrigerate 5 min to firm up.

Make sure the candy melts are still melted
and smooth, else microwave again. Add chocolate
over the top of the carrot halwa and make sure
it fills the entire top portion in the shape of
your mold. Before the chocolate hardens, scrape
out any excess chocolate making a smooth base.
If too much chocolate comes off disclosing the
carrot halwa , again apply some chocolate and
scrape away any excess gently. Again refrigerate
5 min.

Once the chocolate hardens, gently press it out
of the mold onto a serving plate and continue
to refrigerate.
