Dry Fruits and Nuts Barfi

I know its bit late, but still wishing all my friends and readers a Happy New Year. Hope you all had a great time. I am glad to be back to my blog after an unexpected break of one month. Missed blogging and all the delicious recipes posted by my friends; hoping to catch up with everything soon. I wanted to post a healthy yet delicious sweet on my blog to kick start this year.

Dry fruits and nuts barfi is a sugar free dessert to satisfy the sweet cravings without worrying about the calories! It also makes a filling and healthy snack for kids. I have used dried figs and dates in this barfi, but you can also add other dried fruits like apricots, raisins and cranberries. This easy barfi can be also made for festivals like Diwali. Store these in air tight container and refrigerate, stays good for a week.
