Everyone makes 3-4 candies and sells it halfway in the morning. Spoon sugar coconut candy is made from spoon sugar, coconut and a little ginger, peanut. The spoon sugar has a rich sweet taste, and when combined with coconut, it will add a fatty taste, very delicious. “Till years ago, every day I sold more than 4 candy trays, about over 20kg. In the morning, I went to the market to sell candies, in the afternoon I stayed at home to make candies, so that it was almost 40 years old,” said Ms. Sanh. To make a spoon sugar candy tray takes about 4 hours. Making spoon sugar coconut candy is very simple, washed copra, sliced ​​thin, then rim with spoon sugar. Rim until the sugar and coconut are close, add some ginger and peanuts. Not picky, but spoon sugar coconut candy is very delicious, associated with the childhood of many generations. In the old days, in the women’s shopping basket, mothers always had a few bags of coconut sugar candy as a gift for the children. For about 10 years now, in Pho An commune, only Mrs. Sanh has been making spoon sugar coconut candy. Every day, Ms. Sanh brought a 3 – 4 kg candy tray to the market to sell. Each bag of candy larger than an adult’s hand costs 10 thousand VND. The income from making spoon sugar coconut candy is very low, so to have money to cover her life, Ms. Sanh makes a little cake with little hemp leaves and banh chung to sell with. Ms. Sanh shared her heart: “Because I am attached to the traditional taste, I stick with it, but the income from candy making is not worth much. Sometimes I still accept orders from customers from far away. Even on the street. She doesn’t lack candies, but they still order bags of coconut candy to eat, to remember the taste and memories of my childhood, this makes me feel happy and have more motivation to stick to the profession “.
