Crystal Candy Cookies vs Traditional Crystal Candy: Australia’s Sweet Twist

What Are Crystal Candy Cookies?
At first glance, Crystal Candy Cookies look like edible jewels. Bite into one, though, and you’ll quickly realise they’re more than just pretty sweets.
Our signature product, Crystal Candy Cookies, are handmade in Brisbane and combine:
-
A crunchy, crystalised sugar shell on the outside.
-
A soft, gooey marshmallow centre on the inside.
This texture contrast makes them different from anything else on the market. They’re playful, colourful, and designed to be enjoyed as a fun self-treat, shared with friends, or given as a thoughtful little gift.
The Roots: Japanese Crystal Candy
The word “crystal candy” originally comes from Japan, where two types of traditional sweets are popular:
-
Konpeitō – small, spiky sugar drops, brightly coloured and often used for celebrations.
-
Kohakutō – jewel-like sweets made with agar jelly, known for their glassy sparkle.
Both are beautiful and decorative, but they’re fully hard sugar candies.
Our Crystal Candy Cookies are inspired by these traditions but reimagined for Australian taste buds.
Crystal Candy Cookies: An Australian Twist
While traditional Japanese crystal candy is admired for its beauty, our Brisbane-made version adds an unexpected twist: a marshmallow heart inside.
This gives you two sensations in one bite:
-
Crunch when you first break through the shell.
-
Soft chewiness as the marshmallow melts in your mouth.
They’re handmade in small batches, with care taken to ensure every piece is unique. And because they’re designed for the Australian climate, we package them with safe, heat-aware methods so they arrive fresh no matter where in the country you live.
