Idea 1 - Samsa Pistachio
This is a treat native to Northern Africa and served at gatherings of families and friends.

Stand out from everyone else during your Eid celebrations with this Samsa Pistachio treat. Choose between an 8-piece package that is suitable for gifting an individual or an 18-piece package for large celebrations.
