Chocolate Peda Recipe {With Milk Mawa Powder}

This chocolate peda is just a variation of the regular peda made with mawa (evaporated milk solids) with the addition of cocoa powder. It is creamy, chocolaty, rich and just melts in the mouth. You can use the same recipe to make burfi instead, simply spread the mixture in a greased plate up to 1/2 inch in height. Let it cool and cut into pieces.
