Sohan asali

Sohan asali is a traditional brittle prepared with a base of sugar, honey, saffron, rose water, oil or butter, and slivered almonds. They are usually round, and before they set, the top is decorated with ground pistachios. This sweet, crispy candy is a staple on Persian New Year, and it is often altered with the addition of various flavorings, other nuts, or flavored honey. It is believed that sohan asali has its origins in Isfahan, a region known for its honey production.
