 With my lack of creativity, I replicated the ones that were shown on the box.

I had fun making these!!

Botan Rice Candy

Botan Rice Candy is a soft, chewy, slightly lemon-orange flavored candy with an outer layer of rice paper. The rice paper is clear and plastic-like when dry, but it is edible and dissolves in the mouth. It is a traditional Japanese candy.

The candy's name, Botan (kanji: 牡丹, hiragana: ぼたん), means "peony" in Japanese. A peony blossom is shown on the label, next to an inu-hariko, a dog-shaped traditional toy for Japanese children.

The candy is similar to the taste of a gum drop, but better, and with a slight taste of rice. It might sound a bit strange, but it's delicious! I love it! I have to buy multiple boxes since the portions are so small (in my opinion).

Each box also comes with a collectible sticker!

Botan Rice Candy can be purchased at your local Asian food market. You can also buy it online at Amazon.com.

Hello Kitty Strawberry Dip Biscuits

This is a similar version of YanYan and the well-know Pocky - chocolate covered biscuit sticks.

It comes in a container that separates the biscuit sticks from the strawberry cream dip. It may look like a lot, but there is a very small portion of cream dip.

It's really fun to eat, but I think it tastes horrible. Some who have had this before might argue with me and say it tastes just like Pocky, but I can tell a difference. To me, it tastes like cardboard with strawberry cream on it. I couldn't eat more than two of these and immediately threw it away. Don't let the cute packaging fool you. I would not recommend anyone to get this.

You can find this in your local asian market or you can search online to buy it.
