My mom can make a good number of Asian dishes. So here and there she would have to go to the small grocery stores that had nothing but food that catered to Asian dishes, and a lot of the time those foods would only be found in these stores. Whenever she went, or if we tagged along, for as long as I can remember, my mom would buy us rice candy. 
Whaaaat? Rice? As a candy? Yep. They are chewy and just fun to eat! They were a real treat for us as kids. Not too long ago, my sister found some of these yummy candies at a store and bought some. When she gave it to me, a flood of memories of eating these as a kid came back to me and just thinking how special they were. 
On the box, it says it comes with a sticker. And we LOOOOVED to compare and swap stickers, but in the box my sister gave me, it had a rub on tattoo. Booo! I guess the candy surprises/toys are changing with the times. It's so sad.
