White Rabbit creamy candy 大白兔奶糖

Price: 20 yuan / 454g

In 1959, White Rabbit creamy candies went on sale. The image of a jumping white rabbit has been a sweet spot in the childhood memories of every generation of Chinese since then. These milky candies are sweet but quite chewy. Children especially like the edible rice paper that wraps the candies. Although White Rabbit can be bought in all parts of China, it is still considered one of the best Shanghai-styled gifts. The candies were also given as a present to former US president Richard Nixon when he visited China in 1972.
