It’s not Halloween without candy, but how well do you know your local Chinese candies? Let’s skip the international brands and the ever-so-popular White Rabbit candies and dive right into the local stuff that you might not have yet taken a chance on.To get more news about chinese candy, you can visit shine news official website.

These usually come in a variety of colors and are usually seen in wedding goodie bags because of their bright colors. They come in different flavors, but to be honest, aside from the black sesame and peanut ones, the rest kind of taste the same. If you get a handful of these in your Halloween bag this year, don’t pass up on them! They’re delicious! They’re crispy and flakey and packed with the delicious flavor of whatever nuts they are made of.

I usually get these after a friend comes back from a trip to Hainan. These are basically coconut-flavored caramel hard candies. They’re great for the first one (or three), but these are really sweet and end up leaving your mouth feeling a tad dried out after a while.

They might be pretty, but these are essentially the Chinese version of candy corn – cute, but no one actually wants to eat it. They’re so basic that they don’t even have a brand name (just like candy corn). Ying tang means hard candy, and don’t be deceived by their cute fruity colors. They don’t actually taste like fruit. These just taste like sugar with a hint of mint.
These don’t have the most kid-friendly-looking wrappers. It’s literally fuchsia with some old guy printed on it. But don’t judge this candy by its wrapper. These are tasty almond nougat sweets that have been a local specialty in Shenyang for decades and they’re delicious! Tasty nougat candy with big chunks of nuts wrapped in a thin layer of chocolate. If anything, the outdated wrapper is proof that this candy is so good that the makers never had to update the look or recipe to keep up with the times.
