White Rabbit Chinese Candy
In preparation for the wedding (which is a good excuse not to have been updating the blog lately, right?), we’ve been on the lookout for White Rabbit candy. White Rabbit is a Chinese treat that’s chewy like a Tootsie Roll but has more of a milky taste. Each piece is wrapped in edible rice paper and is pretty much the best candy you’ll find in China.
Today, we went to our favorite Chinese supermarket to get some, but would you believe it, they were sold out! The employees told us White Rabbits don’t stick around very long, because these pesky Americans like them just as much as the Chinese patrons. I guess White Rabbits aren’t a secret anymore.
There was some good news at the store, however. A pamphlet at the checkout was advertising an Asian mall that’s coming to Salt Lake in October. If there’s one thing Salt Lake needs more of, it’s Asia. The pamphlet also brought back some good memories. It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to read bad Engrish like, “It will provide a must-to-go place for others,” and, “It will offer people who have been to the Asia in renewing the pleasant Asian experience.”

Ahhhh, love the white rabbit. I think the first ingredient on the list is butter. I’ve brought all kinds of chinese candies into work in the past and white rabbit was the only one that really got over once people got over the fact that you ate it with the paper lining. Always wondered what that was made of, thanks.
Getting ahold of some white rabbit shouldn’t be a problem here in Vegas. Shoot me an email and let me know how much you need and I’ll ship it up. Seriously, no problem.
