Peanut brittle is a classic Chaozhou candy enjoyed by people of all ages. Here in the town of Yuen Long, Hong Kong, we popped by a family-owned shop that still makes this sweet and fragrant snack by hand.

This is the first episode of our series about established mom-and-pop eateries in China, Hong Kong edition. In the next episode, we visit a stall in Tai Po known for its chicken feet. Stay tuned!
