Kids look forward to hunting Easter eggs all year since it’s a fun adventure that guarantees prizes at the end. You can make this year even more memorable for them by filling some of their plastic, hollow eggs with local and Hawaiian snacks. Here are a few tasty treats they’ll love eating with their chocolate rabbits and eggs. 

Which Hawaiian Snacks Can You Put in Easter Eggs?

1. Li Hing Pineapples

Li hing mui is a salty dried plum. It’s commonly made into a powder and combined with sugar, salt, food coloring, and other flavorings to be sprinkled over candy and fruits. Li hing pineapple candies are made of real dried fruit covered in this favorite coating to create a familiar yet unique treat.

2. Gummy Lychee

Lychee is a fruit native to Southeast Asia. Though its outer skin is red, when peeled, its inner fruit is a milky white color. Most people would agree the lychee tastes somewhere between a grape and a watermelon—sweet but tart. The flavor is enhanced in gummy form, making it a favorite among kids.

3. Mochi Crunch

Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake that consists of a short-grain glutinous rice, water, sugar, and cornstarch. In its basic form, it resembles a white ball and has a thick texture that resembles a marshmallow. This twist on the popular sweet combines it with soy sauce, seaweed, and soy bean oil to create a harder, crunchy exterior.
