Both dry and wet sweets were produced by the processors. Mainly three types of sweetmeats are produced in these shops, in which Rossgolla, Dahi and Dry sweets. Among different types of sweetmeats the large amount of milk is used to produce dry sweets(17.14± 12.665), then dahi(16.28±5.603)and then then Rasogolla ((10.14±13.03)) at Babuganj.
