What is White Rabbit candy?
White Rabbit Creamy Candy is a classic Chinese milk candy wrapped in a signature edible rice paper.
It’s soft, chewy, and sweet, with a flavor similar to sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
Melting the candies into warm milk transforms it into a dreamy, comforting drink, which is also the base of creamy, frozen White Rabbit Ice Cream.

Ingredients you'll need
- White Rabbit candies: unwrapped; you can leave the edible paper on
