  Assorted Candy Apples

  Mixed fruit litchi is a traditional Chinese snack made primarily from hawthorn, strawberries, grapes, kiwi, and other fruits. The fruits are skewered on bamboo sticks and coated with boiled syrup, forming a transparent sugar shell after cooling. To prepare it, sugar and water are heated in proportion to reach the right temperature, allowing the syrup to achieve a thread-like consistency before being quickly applied to the surface of the fruits.

  Thick-cut Stir-fried Yogurt

  Thick-cut stir-fried yogurt is a cold-and-hot alternating snack made primarily from fresh yogurt, combined with ingredients such as fruits, nuts, or fruit jam, and prepared using a low-temperature slow-stir-frying technique. The process involves pouring yogurt into a specially designed pan, gently heating it over low heat while continuously stirring until it solidifies into thick slices, which are then cut into pieces for serving.

  Bamboo Shoot and Lotus Seed Candy Apples

  Mountain yam bean candy apples are a traditional snack made primarily from mountain yam beans and a syrup of rock sugar. After the yam beans are cooked, they are skewered on bamboo sticks and dipped into the prepared sugar syrup. Once cooled, a thin layer of hardened sugar forms around each bean, creating a crispy exterior with a soft, tender interior.
• 

  Durian Candy Apples

  Durian candy apples are made primarily from fresh durian flesh. After removing the seeds, the flesh is skewered onto bamboo sticks and coated with freshly prepared syrup. Once cooled, it forms a crisp, sweet outer layer. During preparation, the temperature of the syrup must be carefully controlled to ensure an even coating that solidifies quickly.
• 

  Glutinous Rice Candy Apples

  Glutinous rice sugar-coated hawthorn is a traditional snack made primarily from glutinous rice, coated with a thin layer of sugar and deep-fried to form a golden, crispy shell. The inner glutinous rice is soft, sweet, and fragrant, skewered on bamboo sticks resembling a gourd—hence the name.

  Strawberry Candy Apples

  Strawberry Tanghulu is made primarily with fresh strawberries, which are skewered on bamboo sticks and coated with boiled syrup. Once the syrup cools and solidifies, it forms a transparent, crisp shell. During preparation, the temperature of the syrup must be carefully controlled to ensure an even outer shell that is not easily broken.

  Honey Tangerine Candy Apples

  Honey tangerine candied hawthorn is made with fresh honey tangerines. The tangerines are peeled, threaded onto bamboo skewers, and then coated with freshly boiled syrup. Once the syrup cools and solidifies, it forms a transparent, crisp shell. During preparation, the temperature of the syrup must be carefully controlled to ensure an even coating and a satisfyingly crunchy texture.

  Red Bean Paste Candy Apples

  Red bean sugar-coated hawthorn is made primarily from hawthorn. After removing the seeds, the hawthorns are skewered on bamboo sticks and coated with boiled syrup, forming a transparent sugar shell once cooled. Red bean paste is used as a filling inside the hawthorn, adding sweetness and enhancing texture complexity. During preparation, it's essential to control the syrup temperature to ensure the sugar shell is crisp and not sticky.
