Last updated 2026-11-08 — Sugar-coated Screw Snails: When it comes to snacks, Beijingers have a knack for naming things straightforwardly, and screw snails are one of them—named for their resemblance to snail shells. Old-time Beijingers would roast leftover screw snails from the day with low heat to dry out the moisture and sell them again as “dry-roasted,” which are crispy, fragrant, and chewy. The highlight of sugar-coated screw snails: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sweet and flavorful.
