Sohan (Persian: سوهان, romanized: Sôhân) is a traditional Persian saffron brittle toffee made in Iran.

Its ingredients consist of wheat sprout, flour, egg yolks, rose water, sugar, butter or vegetable oil, saffron, cardamom, and slivers of almond and pistachio.

Some people believe that when Naser al-Din Shah Qajar travelled to Qom and he was entertained with Halwa Qomi, he analogized it to a rasp (Sohan is the Persian word meaning rasp or file) which digested the food he had eaten very well.
