It's dragon beard candy! Nowadays, there are many different flavors, but the price is also much more expensive!

Long-bearded candy was originally known as Silver Silk Candy, filled with peanuts, sesame seeds and coconut, originally a traditional Chinese folk snack.

The sugar filaments of the Dragon Beard Candy are pulled out by sugar gelatin like noodles. The filling is not added until the sugar strands turn white. Legend has it that in the Song Dynasty, an emperor ate the silver silk sugar and found it so delicious that it became one of the favorite desserts. Later, the people knew that the emperor also ate the silver silk candy, so it was renamed as Dragon's Beard Candy. Because the dragon represents the emperor, and the whiskers are the silk that is pulled out, this name has been used until now.

The following is the whole process of making dragon beard candy (quote):
