Barfi or Barfee is so special in our home. In the past, I have made Vanilla, Caramel and Chocolate Barfee which makes me and my brother so happy.
Being a fan of Barfi and chocolate I decided to make Peanut Chocolate barfi, to add in our Diwali Special repertoire.
One of the most popular and grand Hindu festival Diwali/Deepavali is just a few days away, and I can’t contain my excitement as I really look forward to all the celebrations, fun and obviously, Diwali treats like Habshi Halwa , Stuffed Magas Ladoo and this Peanut Chocolate Barfi!

Peanut Chocolate Barfi/Barfee
Any fans here of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? Funnily, the first time I tasted Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups was when a surgeon brought them into theatre for the staff and students – I definitely helped myself to more than one !
This recipe is not a traditional Indian recipe, so you won’t be able to find it in any Indian sweet shop. It’s a fusion recipe I thought about when I was indulging in Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
This Peanut Chocolate Barfee is such a recipe for very busy people who don’t have much time to slave away in the kitchen. All the ingredients that are used in this recipe easily available in any supermarkets.
The only ingredient you won’t be able to find in this recipe that is Chandi Ka Varq or Vark. You may have to order online or you can omit completely as it does not add any taste to the dish but only used for decorating purposes.
What is Chandi Ka Varq/Vark
Basically, Varq is edible silver or gold foil. Chandi translates Silver and Varq/Vark is like fine tissue paper and made with real silver and it is safe to eat, completely harmless and it digests easily. It is garnished on all types of food, giving food that special feel and look.
In recent years edible silver or gold leaf has gained popularity in the western world, in Indian and Pakistan varq or silver foil has been for centuries in decorating sweets and nuts.
The varq symbolises richness, festivities and celebrations. In Urdu, Varq known as Zarda.
Is Varq/Vark suitable for Vegetarians, Vegan or any Religious Groups?
In the olden days methods of making varq weren’t vegetarian-friendly due to the use of animal byproducts but nowadays you can find varq that is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and for all the religious groups. Make sure you check the packaging before buying it or order it online.
Why should you make Peanut Chocolate Barfi?
- It tastes so delicious without overpowering any flavours.
- This Barfi is made with only 5 ingredients and does not require any Masterchef skills.
- It is egg and gluten-free.
- All the ingredients are available easily in your area.
- This make-ahead dessert that can stay fresh for up to a week if stored properly.
Best tips to make Peanut Chocolate Barfi
- Always use full cream or full-fat milk powder to make barfi for the best results.
- Do not use thin based pan or kadai to make barfi, there are chances that milk powder or barfi mixture can stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Never leave the barfi mixture unattended while cooking continuously keep stirring.
- Let the barfi set or cool for a couple of hours or more.
- If you are using silver/gold foil for the decoration, stick it as soon as you spread the barfi mixture into the greased plate, varq only sticks on the hot mixture.
I would recommend also seal the container with cling film to keep away from the strong odor food.
One method is which my mum taught me that once the mixture starts leaving the pan, it also goes very shiny and becomes one mass turn of the heat straight away.
The second method, take a chilled stainless steel bowl or plate, put very tiny amount of barfi mixture on it and after 40-50 second try to pick up if comes out easily then the mixture is cooked, if not cook a couple of minutes further.

You don’t need to preheat the air fryer, place the air fryer with the round parchment.
Dip the apple rings into the batter.
Oil the lining, place the rings on it and again oil the apple rings.
Air fry them until crispy and light brown. flip them in between half of the time.
In a plate combine sugar and cinnamon, roll them straight away.
What variety of apples should I use?
We have used Gala apples, which are all-purpose apples. But if you can get hold of other varieties such as cooking apples, which are great for cooking, baking or frying. Other than that Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and Braeburn are a good choice too.
Can I use the Pancake mix for a shortcut?
These air fried apple ring fritters are so easy and quick to make, but if you want to speed up the process you can use a store-bought pancake mix, which only requires milk or water to make the perfect batter.
I don’t have self-raising flour, what should I use instead?
Self-raising flour is prepared of all-purpose or plain flour (maida), baking powder and salt. You can easily make this blend at home too.
Take 1 cup plain flour, 1 1/2 tsp (one and a half tsp) baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt, combine well and use it for this recipe.
What is the purpose of using sparkling water? Can I omit totally?
The sparkling water makes the batter so fluffy, light and crisp. You can use normal water or any other milk, but won’t achieve the same results.
How to make Cinnamon Sugar?
Cinnamon sugar is combines of granulated sugar and fine cinnamon powder which can be easily made at home.
Take 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and add 1 tsp cinnamon powder. Mix well and store it in an airtight container.
You can sprinkle this cinnamon sugar on top of 3 Ingredient Vegan Oatmeal Waffles
Can I use icing sugar to sprinkle the doughnuts?
Absolutely yes!
How to serve air-fried apple ring doughnuts?
These are best to serve as soon as ready, if left for too long they turn soft and soggy. Apple ring doughnuts are so good on their own but can be served with hot beverages or with milkshakes to kids.
Can I reheat leftover Apple Ring Doughnuts?
Well, if there are any leftovers, as I promise you won’t have any leftovers, but if there are one or the other reason than the answer is yes. Just preheat the air fryer for a couple of minutes then cook for 2 minutes.
Be careful, the cinnamon sugar on top of the doughnut will melt and can burn your fingers or mouth if eaten straight away ..
