Outside of chocolate, I'm not a big fan of candy. Hard candy, in particular, is not very appealing to me. Those red and white peppermint hard candies you find at restaurants? Cannot stand them. Caramels? Creates a strange, bitter aftertaste in my mouth.
That was until a friend introduced me to White Rabbits. It's this taffy-like candy from China. Apparently, it's been made there for years and is well known there - kind of like M&Ms in the U.S.
Anyway, it comes individually wrapped - about the same size as the individually wrapped Tootsie Rolls. The exterior is wrapped in wax paper with the White Rabbit logo on it. Each candy is wrapped in a thin piece of rice paper - if you didn't know any better, you'd think it was a piece of waxed paper. Actually, it's rice paper and very edible - in fact, someone from Taiwan told me you eat the rice paper to make the candy chewier faster.
The original White Rabbit is basically a cream flavored Tootsie Roll - kind of. A bit chewier and definitely longer lasting. And DAMNED ADDICTING.
Someone gave me a bag of mango flavored White Rabbits last week - didn't think I'd ever say this but I think the mango flavored White Rabbits taste better than the original flavor.
P.S. I found the following "review" of White Rabbits on Amazon:
