Kouzi Cunjing

Kouzi Cunjing

　　Cunjing is one of China’s oldest types of sugar confectionery. Made by heating cane sugar, wrapping the filling, pressing into strips, and then cutting them into small, 1-inch (3.3 cm) long golden-yellow sticks, the name “Cunjing” (literally “Inch Gold”) vividly comes from its appearance. The candy is neat, loose, and uniformly thick, with sesame seeds evenly and firmly coated on the surface. Both cut ends reveal clearly layered sesame, sugar coating, and filling. Cunjing is crafted with great care, offering a sweet taste and a long-lasting aftertaste. It is both delicious and affordable, making it very popular among consumers.
