Crystal door nails are old Beijing palace snacks, the finished product is white and translucent.

The skin is made of cornstarch and noodles, and the filling is made of hawthorn cake, melon seeds, raisins,

Peanut kernels are rubbed with sugar and sweet-scented osmanthus. The outer skin of the crystal door nail is white and tender, and the filling is soft and oily. The taste is extraordinarily dense, and the aroma will gradually melt and diffuse in the mouth, and there will be a peanut scent. The color of hawthorn cake is very beautiful from the translucent skin. The slightly acidic taste can also enhance the flavor. The colorful filling and The outer skin of the powder forms a strong contrast, which looks very appetizing. "
