Ali Ajian Peanut Candy Introduction
The peanut candy sold in the Dawan area of Yongkang District has a unique flavor, different from the hard version of peanut candy. Dawan peanut candy is the most representative local specialty of Yongkang, available in various flavors, including peanut brittle and peanut candy. It is sweet, chewy, and does not stick to the teeth, with a soft exterior and a crunchy interior that becomes more fragrant and sweet the more you chew. This peanut candy is made by hand, using fresh or roasted peanuts that have not been sun-dried, while the main ingredients of the sugar are low-sweetness malt syrup and select granulated sugar. It is boiled for one hundred minutes over a flame, requiring constant stirring, then allowed to cool and air dry naturally. Once sliced and packaged, it becomes a flavorful peanut candy.
