Burfi is a dense milk-based sweet from India. It is a type of Indian "Mithai" and typically cut into square or diamond shape.
The flavor of a barfi is often enhanced with fruits (such as mango or coconut) or nuts (such as cashew, pistachio, or peanut) and spices (such as cardamom or rose water). It is usually coated with a thin layer of edible metallic leaf known as vark. Try this authentic Indian sweet ordering from "Kesar Grocery", one of the largest online Indian grocery stores in the USA. Give your tastebuds a mouth watery feeling.

Is there something healthy in sweets?
Definitely yes and it depends on various factors like ingredients used, preparatory method. I recently done study on desserts prepared in different countries and found many people are not really having healthy sweets, as iam having enough knowledge on healthy food habits and being a sweet lover i done some research on sweets with different natural ingredients and made some recipes which are having significant health benefits long with taste. The main ingredient for any dessert to bring the sweetness is sweetener, basically from many years all of us are using Sugar as sweetener which is having many negative health values, during preparation of Sugar from Sugarcanes various chemicals will be added in that, like raising agents to form crystals and preservatives for storage purpose, also dental research has proved that sugar spoils anamal layer of the teeth and makes it decalcinate and creats lot of damage to the teeth leading to lost teeth in early ages. This is only one negative reason iam highlighting here but also there are other many damages happens in or body for example lever aswell. Because of ths reason i tried replacing Sugar with Honey which is having amazing medical values. I tested Honey/Honey syrup in various desserts and found most of the desserts can be made with honey. May be unlike Sugar, Honey is expensive and unavailability, might be due to this reason i presume people are not preferring Honey. I will list some desserts i created made with natural ingredients without using any processed substances or preservatives: Crunchy dates with various high protein natutal ingredients. Banana Apple Oats Wheat bran balls--- source of VItamin B Dry fruit balls Carrot Halwa Papaya Halwa Wheat laddo Kaju Bufi Almond Burfi Kaju Almond BUrfi Coconut Burfi Payasam Sesame balls---good in Calcium for bone strength Peanut balls---good in protein for muscle improvement These are few among others. These sweets are basically originated in India as most of the names represent that. Please get in touch with me on suman255@gmail.com for further details and information.
