When I was growing up, my grandmother had a strict no-snacking-before-dinner rule, but there was one exception: Chinese New Year. Once a year, she'd put out her Chinese candy box on the coffee table for a few weeks, and my sister and I would giddily attack its contents every time we were at her house and fight over the popular candy flavors.
This is one of my favorite Chinese traditions, so I decided to make my own candy box this year and start sharing it with my daughter. Here's the significance behind it and how to make your own!
