One of the favourite parts of my childhood
When I was a kid my grandmother used to give us these candies whenever we visited. Back then, there were actually toys inside. My sister hated the candy and only ever accepted the box for the (dangerously and today-would-be-illegal) small toys. I, on the other hand, absolutely loved the candy. It's sort of an orangey-chalky taste. It's hard to describe unless you actually eat one. Then it tastes like "that candy, you know, the one with the edible rice paper around it."<br /><br />A few months ago I was reminiscing with my mother about these candies and she told me their name, "Botan". I figured if anyone was selling these, it would definitely be Amazon. To my surprise and happiness, I not only managed to find the candy, I was able to buy an entire case of them!<br /><br />My kids think they are great. It took them a little while to get their heads around the fact that the rice paper is edible but now they love it.  The other day my son admonished his aunt because she was trying to take the rice paper off. "No Aunty, you can EAT it", he told her, as if it was common knowledge.<br /><br />Thanks to Amazon, in my family it is!
