This candy comes to us from Kasugai, who produces the gummies that have charmed so many of you. The comparison ends there.Its smooth outer appearance suggests a refined boiled sweet, foreshadowing (but not revealing) the outstanding experience that is to follow. This is no boiled sweet; the hard candy coating melts away to reveal a soft middle layer that contains real mango.
The flavor of the hard shell is excellent, not quite like fresh mango, but certainly the equal of the puree that Indian restaurants use in mango drinks. The center has the unmistakable taste of sweetened dried mango. Overall, the flavors are closer to Manila mango than to the big green and red "Tommy Atkins" mangoes that proliferate in U.S. supermarkets. And that's a good thing.
This is the first featured item from the new batch of candy. It's going to be a great week.

I've had it before and it's out of this world.
Where to find it ?
Love to buy some more.
You didn't say where you are located. If you are in the U.S. I believe the Super H Mart chain carries them.
Many good Asian food stores carry Kasugai candies, but you may have to check a few to see which one carries the mango candy. Also, since this is an imported specialty item, candies often go in- and out-of-stock.
