Frequently Asked Questions

Crystal candy (also called Kohakutou) is a Japanese-style sweet made from agar-agar and sugar that’s dried to develop a crisp, gem-like shell with a soft, jelly centre. Naturally vegan and gluten-free, it’s lightly fruit-flavoured, shimmery, and loved for its ASMR-worthy crunch.

At Vivid Candy, we hand-pour small batches in Brisbane—and we also make a version with a fluffy marshmallow centre.
