The inlaid bean candy is in the west of Qimen, Anhui.

?The inlaid bean candy is an intangible cultural heritage of Anhui Province.

Inlaid bean candy is a specialty snack in Qimen, Anhui Province. It is also a provincial intangible cultural heritage and has been passed down for hundreds of years.

It used to be a traditional pastry for people to entertain guests during festivals, but now the craft has been gradually lost.

Inlaid bean candy is made with Chinese characters on the side of the candy. The craftsmanship is complex and it has strong local characteristics. It is a unique product in Huizhou.

The inlaid bean candy is especially famous for its production in Sanli and Xin'an, West Road.

The reason why the inlaid bean candy is famous is due to the characters made from sesame seeds between the small square pieces of bean candy, which look like the typeface in letterpress printing.

This kind of soybean candy is made with exquisite craftsmanship. It is more of an exquisite craft than a sweet and refreshing pastry, which is amazing.

The reasons why inlaid bean candy is precious: 1. The craft is lost.

Inlaid bean candy was originally a traditional pastry with a long history. However, because the process is too cumbersome and complicated, the profit is not high. Nowadays, there are less than 20 people in the country who know this craft, and most of them are old people over seventy years old.

Faced with the dilemma of having no successor.

It was not until CCTV's food documentary "A Bite of China" reported the inlaid bean candy that it came back into the public eye.

2. The process is complex.

The process of inlaying soybean candy is not accomplished overnight. It requires grinding, boiling, rolling, cutting and other steps.

Soybeans and black sesame are the main raw materials of inlaid bean candy. After drying the good soybeans and black sesame, fry them in batches. Then pour the syrup made from maltose into the two powders while they are hot and stir evenly.

Knead into large candy bars, then cut into small pieces to prepare for inlaying words.

Use wooden plywood to arrange the candy bars, and use yellow and black candy bars to stack and match them to form the shape of a man.

Finally, pull the strip. This step requires the cooperation of two people. If the strength is strong, the shape will be uneven, and if the strength is weak, it will not be able to pull. It takes many years of effort to master it.

After being stretched into thin strips and shaped, cut into thin pieces, the sugar is ready.
