On the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras I prepared Chocolate Peda to make the day memorable.It is a very easy recipe prepared with few simple ingredients.Only important thing to remember is while making the sugar syrup, half string consistency is a must to get the perfect result.I tried my best to do justice.
