What is White Rabbit Creamy Candy?? Let me tell you more details:

>>>White Rabbit Creamy Candy has more than 60 years history. This is China's famouse brand and now sold abroad. White Rabbit Creamy Candy is white colour, with a soft and chewy texture, in addition, this type of candy is formed into cylinders approximately 3 cm long and 1 cm in diameter. 

Each candy is wrapped in a printed waxed paper wrapper, but within this, the sticky candies are again wrapped in a thin edible paper-like wrapping made from sticky rice. The ingredients including corn starch, syrup, cane sugar, butter, and milk as well. Each candy contains 20 calories. White Rabbit sweets have been advertised with the slogan, "Seven White Rabbit candies are equivalent to one cup of milk", and positioned as a nutritional product, and then to be a sweet product.  Is it attractive? Can you know more information about this snack?? I trust you may realize what I say.

Right now, I will tell you some brand histories of this sweet, it originated at the Aipixi Candy Factory of Shanghai in 1943, when a merchant from Aipixi tried a milk candy from England and thought thatt he taste wasgood enough. Through half a year's development, these milk candies have been manufactured as factory's own brand.

The first Aipixi milk candies were packaged using a red Mickey Mouse drawing on the label, and were named ABC Mickey Mouse Sweets. It became widely popular among the people because of  its cheaper prices  compare with other import products. In 1950s, Aipixi  became state-owned.  

Mickey Mouse was seen as a symbol for worshipping foreign countries, so that the packaging was redesigned to feature a naturalistically-drawn White Rabbit and an artist's paint palette with Chinese and English hand-lettering  in a colour scheme of red, blue and black against a white background. 

Initially, production of the candies was capped at 800 kg per day, and they were manually produced. 

In 1959, these candies were given as gifts for the tenth National Day of the People's Republic of China. In 1972, Premier Zhou Enlai used White Rabbit candies as a gift to American president Richard Nixon when the latter visited China.  Today White Rabbit candies are China's top brand of sweet.
