Candy Cravings

“Now is the time to try something new.”

Tried these fancy Japanese gummies, but I think I’ll stick with the tried and true ones!

I’ve been going around to different stores and seeing their Halloween displays (although some places have Christmas decorations up already!).

The end of October always reminds me of candy, and I remember swapping treats as kids for our preferred kinds every October 31. Speaking of candy cravings, here are my top three Asian picks:

1. Gummies/mochis: These are prepackaged round gummies in exotic flavors, like mango. Also, there are individually wrapped mochis (brown sugar, fruit, etc.).

2. Jelly things: These are little tubs of jello (sometimes with fruit inside). I used to love the lychee ones! Warning: they are choking hazards for young kids.

3. White rabbit candy: This milk candy is sweet and chewy. The best part is the rice paper that goes around it. Edible wrapping always amazes me. (Unfortunately, a few years ago there was this whole melamine scare with them. Uh oh.)

What’s your favorite candy?
