Shenxian crisp candy

Shenxian crisp candy

　　Shenxian crisp candy originated in the first year of the Xianfeng reign during the Qing Dynasty (1851), and has a history of 157 years. It was founded by Zhi Guizhi (1891–1953) from Daxujia Village, Wangjiajing Town, Shenxian County, and further developed by his son Zhi Hengliang (1911–1986). Made mainly from peanuts, sesame seeds, and white sugar, the candy features distinct layers, clear texture, a sweet and crispy taste, and an exquisitely delicate craftsmanship. Packaged in traditional red paper labels and simple straw paper wrappers, it retains the charm of classic pastries. In 2006, the fourth-generation successors, Zhi Jie and Zhi Zhe, officially registered their family candy workshop as “Zhi Hengliang Crisp Candy Manor,” and the product also received a new packaging design.
