Why not indulge in the best mithais this year to make your celebrations even more special? This is a carefully curated list of Sangam Sweets' Top 10 Dussehra sweets for 2025, which you can enjoy on your own or give as the ideal festive present.

10 Must-Try Dussehra Sweets in 2025 for a Sweet Celebration

1. Mysore Pak – The Pride of Karnataka

Originating from the royal kitchens of Mysore, this ghee-laden delicacy is known for its rich golden color and melt-in-the-mouth texture. Made with gram flour, sugar, and generous amounts of ghee, Mysore Pak is a true symbol of indulgence. Its soft, porous texture makes every bite heavenly.

If you’d like to share this classic with loved ones, check out the Rajya Raag Box, which includes Mysore Pak along with Kaju Katli and Motichur Laddu, a regal mix for festive gifting.

2. Motichur Laddu – Golden Pearls of Festivity

No Dussehra is complete without Motichur Laddus. These tiny golden pearls of besan, fried and soaked in sugar syrup, are shaped into perfect round balls. Their light crunch, followed by a burst of sweetness, has made them a must-have for every festival.

Motichur laddus are also offered in many households as a prasad, symbolizing prosperity and good luck.

Want to gift this along with other festive favorites? The Amrit Goonj Box has Motichur Laddu, Soan Papdi, and Mysore Pak– a trio that everyone in the family will love.

3. Kaju Katli – The Royal Cashew Diamond

Kaju Katli is often called the “crown jewel” of Indian sweets. Made with finely ground cashews, sugar, and a touch of ghee, these thin diamond-shaped delights are covered with edible silver leaf. They are light, elegant, and simply irresistible.

The best part? Kaju Katli is naturally gluten-free and packed with the goodness of cashews, which are rich in healthy fats and protein. It’s a guilt-free indulgence perfect for festive gifting.

4. Kesar Peda – Saffron’s Sweet Embrace

This saffron-infused peda melts in your mouth and leaves behind a lingering aroma of cardamom. Traditionally made with khoya (reduced milk), sugar, and kesar, Kesar Pedas are considered auspicious and often distributed during festivals.

These pedas are not just sweets; they’re a celebration of tradition. The richness of saffron also brings antioxidant benefits, making it both a treat and a little boost of wellness.

The Rajya Raag Box also features Kesar Peda, making it an ideal pick if you’d like a mix of pedas and laddus in one festive pack.

5. Soan Papdi – Flaky Layers of Happiness

Perhaps the most nostalgic of all sweets, Soan Papdi is known for its flaky, thread-like layers that dissolve instantly on the tongue. Made with gram flour, sugar, and ghee, this sweet is a favorite for children and adults alike.

Its lightness makes it perfect after a heavy festive meal. In fact, gifting Soan Papdi has become a tradition in itself because who can resist sneaking “just one more piece”?

Looking for a box that includes this flaky goodness? Try the Amrit Goonj Box, where Soan Papdi is paired with Mysore Pak and laddus for a complete festive delight.

6. Badam Burfi – Almond-Rich Indulgence

Made with ground almonds, sugar, and ghee, Badam Burfi is both wholesome and luxurious. Almonds are a powerhouse of vitamin E, fiber, and good fats, which makes this sweet a healthier choice during indulgent festive days.

Its slightly nutty flavor and smooth texture make it a sophisticated treat perfect to serve guests with a cup of masala chai.

7. Dry Fruit Roll – Nutty Goodness in Every Bite

The Dry Fruit Roll is the ideal sweet treat if you're searching for something with a lot of power. This roll is packed with cashews, almonds, pistachios, and raisins, and it's delicious, providing a boost of energy from dates and a hint of sweetness.

Because it doesn't heavily rely on refined sugar and is naturally high in nutrients, this dessert is frequently chosen as a guilt-free festive option.

The Lazeez Anand Box from Sangam Sweets is a great gift for health-conscious friends and family, as it contains high-quality dry fruit candies.

8. Desi Baklava – A Fusion Delight

Sangam's Desi Baklava is a creative take on Middle Eastern Baklava that is tailored to Indian tastes. It provides a delightful balance of sweetness and crispiness with layers of sugar syrup, crunchy dry fruits, and flaky pastry.

This contemporary dessert respects traditional Indian mithai culture while being ideal for people who like trying out new flavors.

9. Kaju Chocoshot – Where Cashew Meets Chocolate

For those who crave something modern and fun, Kaju Chocoshot is the answer. This sweet combines the richness of cashews with the indulgence of chocolate, creating bite-sized treats that are especially popular among children and young adults.

You can find this sweet inside the Sukh Sangrah Box, which also includes Desi Baklava and other fusion delights, an ideal pick if you want a box full of surprises.

10. Coconut Burfi – A Nostalgic Classic

Coconut Burfi takes us back to our grandmother’s kitchens. Made with milk, sugar, and freshly grated coconut, this dessert is straightforward but incredibly filling. It is a timeless favorite due to its natural sweetness and soft texture.

This barfi is marginally healthier than many others because coconut is also high in fiber and good fats. It's the type of confection that genuinely binds taste and tradition.

Conclusion

Dussehra is a time to celebrate successes, value family time, and make memories. And what better way to accomplish this than with confections that combine innovation and tradition?

Every mithai narrates a tale of joy and culture, whether it's the fusion charm of Desi Baklava, the ghee-dripping Mysore Pak, or the saffron-laced Kesar Peda.
