Why is the white rabbit toffee wrapped in a sticky rice candy paper?
Glutinous rice paper, an edible film. Transparent and tasteless, with a thickness of 0.02～0.025mm, it melts at the entrance.

History of white rabbit toffee
1. The predecessor of the White Rabbit is Mickey Mouse.
1943, there was an Apple candy factory in Shanghai (Apple is ABC's). After eating the milk candy from England, the boss liked it very much, so he asked the master to make the China version of the milk candy, and the image of Mickey Mouse was used on the candy wrapping paper at that time. Because the price was cheap and the taste was good, it was once very popular.
After liberation, the Apple Candy Factory merged with the state-owned Shanghai Yimin Food Factory. At this time, the trademark and image of Mickey Mouse have been registered abroad and can no longer be used. So the factory staff and artists redesigned the packaging image and improved the formula of toffee, which led to the present white rabbit toffee.
2. The big white rabbit has a younger sister, Red Rabbit.
The white rabbit was very popular after improvement. At that time, the factory introduced a chocolate-flavored red rabbit, but the sales volume was not good because the milk was not strong and chewy. In addition, it was the 1960 s, and there was a taboo on words. The red rabbit finally stopped production.

Among all kinds of candy at that time, the white rabbit was a luxury that money could not buy.
