Qandhar

Qandhar is a traditional Afghan sweet treat made from a blend of flavors, often including caramel, nuts, and spices, creating a rich and aromatic confection. It is typically prepared by boiling sugar and honey to form a syrup, then mixing in nuts like almonds or pistachios, and sometimes flavored with saffron or other spices. The mixture is cooled and shaped into various forms, resulting in a dense, flavorful sweet valued in Afghan culture. Qandhar is enjoyed during special occasions and celebrations, symbolizing hospitality and sharing.
