Peanut candy
This type of traditional candy is extremely familiar to people in the North, especially to the generation of our grandparents and parents. The peanut candy bar is crispy, with a nutty and fragrant taste of peanuts and sesame; with every bite, you can feel the gentle, refreshing sweetness of sugar and malt. Therefore, even though traditional candies have gradually lost their position to the overwhelming wave of foreign candies, peanut candy still has its own standing, still appearing from sidewalk stalls to family living rooms.
Children eat it kẹo lạc because it is crispy and sweet, while adults will have peanut candy with green tea to feel the incredible harmony of this rustic couple. People say the sharp sweetness of the candy bar overcomes the astringency of fresh tea, and that very astringency helps soothe the throat-stinging sweetness of sugarcane molasses, making this pair extremely well-suited.
Cu do candy
This is a type of peanut candy that is a specialty of the Nghe An and Ha Tinh regions of Vietnam. Cu do candy is round like a full moon, looking rough and bumpy on the outside but is very fragrant, with the rich taste of sugarcane molasses, the spicy aroma of fresh ginger, and the crispiness of peanuts and sesame rice paper. The piece of candy is chewy, sweet, fragrant, and spicy all at once... tasting very “novel”.
Cu Do candy specialty is a “specialty” to remember and cherish of the people of these two regions. Cu do candy is best when enjoyed with green tea. Taking a bite of Cu Do candy and a sip of green tea makes the sweetness and astringency blend in a very interesting way. In big cities, because green tea is not readily available, people often eat the candy with 'tra man' (black tea), and although it is not as delicious, the sweetness of the candy with the characteristic astringency of the black tea is also very well-suited.
Siu Chau candy
Sieu Chau candy is a specialty of the land of Nam Dinh, a rustic gift favored by many. The candy is made from main ingredients such as peanuts, sesame, sugar, and flour... which are crispy and nutty when eaten. People often talk about the easily recognizable advantage of Sieu Chau candy: it does not stick to the teeth when eaten. But its aroma is a “quiet scent” that is very subtle and pure.
Sieu Chau candy is delicious on its own, but enjoying it with a cup of hot tea is even more suitable, as the sharp sweetness of the candy when combined with the sweetness of the tea seems to enhance each other, creating an unforgettable flavor. Perhaps that is why Sieu Chau candy is an indispensable item for the people of Nam Dinh during holidays and Tet. This is also a gift that both Nam Dinh people and tourists often buy when visiting the land of Thanh Nam.
Doi candy
A traditional candy that goes perfectly with tea is 'doi' candy (sausage-shaped candy), a candy shaped like a sausage that is very popular in the Northern region of Vietnam. The candy has an opaque white outer shell that is very crispy and sweet, but not too harsh. Inside the shell is a filling consisting of roasted peanuts, which are very fragrant.
People often eat doi candy with a cup of hot tea; especially in the cold winter weather of the Northern region, enjoying this treat during that time is absolutely wonderful. Today, like many other traditional candies, 'doi' candy is gradually fading away, with not many places selling it, or if they do, few places still have the truly authentic traditional flavor. Therefore, besides looking to buy in craft villages, customers can buy products from Bao Minh Confectionery Joint Stock Company to get 'doi' candy products with the standard delicious and sweet flavor.
