Candy Land

Because I am a true blue American I need my sugar fix and I've found a lot of good options. Xi'an has some great candy to buy off the street.

                                                          Cotton Candy in the shape of a flower.
                                                          Youtube how it's made. It's amazing
                                                          to watch. The vendors are artisans.

                                                      Peanut and Sesame Candy. They pound
                                                       the peanuts, then turn it. This process is
                                                       repeated many times. The candy has a
                                                       dry texture but is good.
                                 

Homemade candy cane type candy. The
metal counter top is heated to allow 
the workers to pull and cut the candy. 
These are called 
Fruitips. They
are made out of a 
fruit called 
black currant. They
are addicting!

Oreos come individually wrapped, are a 
soft cookie with frosting and are missing
the cream filling.
