Notes
- You can sieve coco powder with milk powder and add it too. If you add as such and if there are any lumps it will affect the peda too so I mixed with milk and then added.
- Give resting time only then you can roll easily.
- If you are unable to form balls then the mixture is under cooked. If the mixture cracks while rolling then add little milk and mix well, do not add more.
- Tastes best the next day or give at least few hours setting time. If you taste as soon as it is made it will be a little chewy.
- Stays good for 2 days in room temperature and if refrigerated will stay good at least for a week.

Enjoy these melt in the mouth tasty chocolate pedas!
My notes:
- If you have missed the perfect half string consistency then even after adding maida, the mixture will not thicken at all.In that case add more milk powder and keep stirring to get the desired dough thickness.But everything should be done off the stove.
- The mixture will thicken fast so act quickly.Once maida mixture is added whisk it once then add the milk powder at once.
- When you start making the peads, the mixture will be slightly sticky, grease and then start forming pedas.
- If the mixture is sticky and does not form balls then add more milk powder.If the mixture is very thick add little milk to get the desired consistency.
- You can even garnish with cashews or any nuts as per your wish.
- Use good quality coco powder.Do not add more than the mentioned amount else the pedas will turn bitter.
- Keep mixing well with a whisk to avoid lumps.
- Keeps well for about a week, but needs refrigeration after the first 2 days of making.
