Dragon Beard Candy
A unique Chinese specialty now made by only a handful of candy masters worldwide. A ball of corn-syrup toffee is worked and stretched until it separates into filament-fine threads. The threads are rolled around a nut mixture and served as a melt-in-the-mouth sweet not unlike fairy floss in texture.
