Dear
Quizro gave a
great concise writeup on the
subject, but he left out the
best part of these
Asian delicacies.
White Rabbit candies come with two
wrappers. The first is your
standard wax paper, printed with
logos and
ideograms and
such. The
second,
underneath the first, is clear
rice paper. It's
edible. And,
strangely, the
taste of the
rice paper mixes
beautifully with the sweet
vanilla-ish taste of the
candy roll itself.
When I was younger, I'd often place a White Rabbit on my tongue, letting the rice paper slowly dissolve with my saliva. The paper residue would slide around on my tongue, all slimy. A great joy to a seven-year-old boy.
And, don't say we didn't warn you - I swear, the manufacturers distill the psychological addictiveness of a jumbo bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos into pure form and add it to each candy. I've tore through cases of the stuff and been left shivering and wanting.
