Indian Sweets

Heading to the sweet shop is quite a treat here in India. Not only are you sure to find something to delight your taste buds, but the presentation is dazzling to behold. The shiny, sparkly image above shows a number of different sweets covered in vark, an edible foil made from silver. Imagine eating a Hershey Kiss with the foil wrapper still on - which is nothing like eating sweets covered in vark. The foil is so thin and fine, you can hardly even tell it is there.

Although, after reading the wiki page on vark, I'm not so sure I'll be ingesting much more of it.
