Dharwad peda (Kannada: ಧಾರವಾಡ ಪೇಡ) is an Indian sweet delicacy unique to the state of Karnataka, India.

[4] Ram Ratan Singh Thakur, a first-generation confectioner, started producing and selling pedas locally.

The family closely guards the recipe of the Peda as a trade secret which has been passed down through generations.

Babusingh Thakur's single outlet store that was running for a few decades expanded later in Dharwad, Hubli, Bangalore, Belgaum and Haveri.

In many other cities around India, other confectioneries also sell Dharwad peda which is not connected to the Thakur family.
