Ali Ah-Chen Peanut Candy Introduction
The peanut candy sold in the Dawan area of Yongkang District has a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from the hard varieties of peanut candy. Dawan peanut candy is the most representative specialty of Yongkang, available in various flavors, including peanut brittle and peanut candy. It is sweet and chewy without sticking to the teeth, with a soft exterior and a crunchy interior, becoming more aromatic and sweet the more you chew. This peanut candy is made purely by hand, using unexposed fresh or cooked peanuts. The main ingredients for the candy are low-sweetness malt syrup and high-quality granulated sugar, which is boiled over a flame for one hundred minutes while being constantly stirred. After cooling, it is air-dried naturally, and once sliced and packaged, it becomes a flavorful peanut candy.
