    Nepali peda is a simple and lovely bite of candy.

    In fact it is so good it is given as a treat to Hindu gods in Nepal.

    This recipe is quick and easy.

    It is made with sweetened condensed milk which I made from scratch and it turned out great.

    If you are pressed for time you can just use a can of sweetened condensed milk and add a touch of cardamom as well.

    It is topped with a pistachio nut and often enjoyed with tea.

    They are addicting!
