Notes

Mukhwas is a colorful Indian after-meal snack or digestive aid that also freshens the breath. It can be made of various seeds and nuts, but is often found with fennel seeds, anise seeds, coconut, and sesame seeds. They are sweet in flavor and highly aromatic due to added sugar and the addition of various essential oils, including peppermint oil. The seeds can be savory or sweet-coated in sugar and brightly colored.

  1. Yum yum yummy! Chocolate is the major attractive component to mask all the other healthy ingredients’ strong flavor. Very nice digestive pops for kids.5 stars

  2. I m fan of this recipe because you have really innovated gulkand which is a cooling traditional food for us but kids never love it as its sticky but when given as chocolate nothing will beat it.5 stars
