It got me thinking: why not pass out global candy on Halloween? I may be slightly biased because I grew up on these Thai tamarind candies, but I don’t think there is another candy as quintessentially Thai as Amira. A hard candy, it strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tart with the faintest whisper of salt. These popular suckers have a mango-shaped, mango-flavored hard candy at their center and are covered in a tangy, spicy powder. This hard candy tastes like a cross between a ripe peach and a sweet plum.
