Every time Tet comes, on the family's reception table, there must be a plate of delicious cakes and candies. This year, instead of choosing cakes, candies, and jams available on the market, many families prefer to choose homemade cakes and candies because they can proactively choose the right taste and retain the natural flavor of the ingredients.
During Tet, the whole family often enjoys handmade cakes, jams, and candies with a cup of hot tea to reminisce about old times.
Taking advantage of her lunch break, Ms. Bui Thi Thanh Huyen in Tho Son ward (Viet Tri) drove to Vincom to buy ingredients to make Nougat candy (happy candy) to offer to her ancestors' altar and to entertain guests during Tet. Choosing to buy ingredients such as cashews, almonds, walnuts, raisins, butter, whole milk powder, marshmallow candy... Ms. Huyen informed: There are many ingredients to make Nougat candy sold online, just order and it will be delivered to your home, but I am afraid of not ensuring food safety so I often buy it at large supermarket chains. In recent years, I have not only made Nougat candy for my family to enjoy during Tet but also made it as gifts for both my paternal and maternal families. Homemade Nougat candy will adjust the flavor to suit each person's taste, so the eater is more secure than with cakes and candies sold on the market.
Like Ms. Huyen, Ms. Minh Thu in Gia Cam ward (Viet Tri) often buys coconuts to make various types of coconut jam to burn incense and entertain guests during Tet. Ms. Minh Thu said: If compared to market prices, the products I make are not cheaper but ensure everyone's taste and especially do not contain preservatives. In my family, each person likes a different flavor, so I often make a little of everything. This year, I plan to make 15 kg of various types of coconut jam for my family to use and as gifts for both paternal and maternal sides.
Nougat candy attracts customers because it is made from nuts and dried fruits.
Nougat candy batches suitable for all ages
According to our research, in recent years, some consumers, instead of choosing imported or domestically produced confectionery, have switched to preferring handmade cakes, jams, and candies to use during Tet.
Choosing a Tet basket of products including onion cookies, Nougat candy, young coconut jam, jelly candy, and Che Lam to give to his parents in the countryside for Tet, Mr. Hoang Manh Hung in Thanh Son town (Thanh Son) said: Every year, I often buy foreign cakes and candies to give to my parents. In recent years, my parents are getting old, so I have switched to ordering handmade products. Because they are homemade, I can ask the maker to reduce the amount of sugar and milk, and most importantly, these products do not contain preservatives.
To have delicious batches of Nougat candy, Ms. Thanh Tuyen (Thanh Tuyen Food) has to monitor the temperature with a thermometer.
Grasping consumer tastes, this year's Tet holiday, many people produce their own cookies, coconut jam, Nougat candy... to sell on social networking sites. Ms. Do Thi Thanh Tuyen, owner of Thanh Tuyen Food in Nong Trang ward (Viet Tri) said: My family specializes in producing products for Tet, in which onion cookies, Nougat candy, young coconut jam are selling very well. Last Tet, we sold 550kg of Nougat candy, 500kg of coconut jam, this Tet, we have received orders from units to make gifts, the facility plans to produce 300kg of Nougat candy, 300kg of coconut jam...

According to Ms. Thanh Tuyen, making cookies, coconut jam and Nougat candy is not difficult because there are many videos online with instructions on how to make them and ready-made ingredients for sale, so buyers can follow along. However, to make delicious products with their own flavors, the maker must have experience. Ms. Thanh Tuyen added: Nougat candy from Thanh Tuyen kitchen is made from 100% seaweed sugar, malt, Korean corn sugar, almonds, cranberries, dried mango, dried strawberries... The imported ingredients have clear origins and invoices, so even though the price is higher than other places, Nougat candy is still trusted and ordered by customers.

In recent years, Nougat candy has been widely accepted by people because it is good for health because of the nuts and fruits used to make this candy. With the main ingredients being marshmallow, milk powder, dried fruits or nuts... Nougat candy not only has a special flavor but also has extremely beautiful colors. Besides the mild sweetness, Nougat candy also has the sour taste of dried fruits and the fatty taste of nuts. Chewy, fatty, sweet candy has the flavor of milk and nuts, delicious and extremely nutritious.
Tet is an occasion for the whole family to gather together, in a cozy atmosphere, everyone sips hot tea, nibbles on some jams, cakes, and handmade candies to reminisce about old memories.
