Tanghulu consists of fruit with a firm candy covering served on a stick; it is the perfect amount of food for a healthy desert snack. It often consists of 7-8 pieces of fruit, which may be strawberries, pineapples, grapes or Chinese hawthorn. The one in the photo contains mostly strawberries with a Chinese hawthorn at the end. The candy-covered strawberries provide a crunchy burst of sweet heaven. [Photo by Yu Winglam/China.org.cn]
