    Are you a fan of sweet treats that bring back nostalgic childhood memories? If so, then you're in for a treat! We're talking about none other than White Rabbit Candy – the creamy, milk-based candy that has won the hearts (and taste buds) of many generations in Asia. Get ready to indulge in the sweetness of White Rabbit Candy as we take a trip down memory lane and explore its story.


    What is White Rabbit Candy and Why is it So Popular?

    White Rabbit Candy was born in Shanghai, China, during the Second World War and quickly became a hit among households. And it's no wonder why – the candy's creamy, milky flavor and soft, chewy texture make it simply irresistible.

    But what really sets White Rabbit Candy apart is its iconic packaging. Each candy is wrapped in a printed waxed paper that features a charming white rabbit. Once opened, there is another thin layer of rice paper wrapping up the sweet goodness. And the best part? This wrapper is completely edible!

    In 1972, China's premier, Zhou Enlai, who loved the candy so much, brought a batch to US President Nixon as a national gift! Now that's some serious candy diplomacy.


    From White Rabbit Milk Candies to Ice Cream

    White Rabbit Candy has evolved from a simple milk candy to a variety of different products over the years, including ice cream. White Rabbit Ice Cream has a unique flavor that is similar to the candy, but with a creamier and smoother texture.
