White Rabbit Creamy Candy
Eat every piece of paper!? The "blue and white rabbit candy" loved by all Chinese people
Description
A national milk candy (nougat) loved by all Chinese generations since its birth in Shanghai in 1959. Marked by a retro blue, white, and black rabbit package. Its greatest feature is the candy being wrapped in 'oblaat (edible transparent paper)'; tossing it in the mouth paper and all slowly melts out a rich condensed milk sweetness.
