The texture is designed to be light and breakable, offering a satisfying crunch. They are often shaped into simple forms, making them easy to handle and enjoy as a standalone treat or with accompaniments. Their sweetness makes them a popular choice for those seeking a light dessert or a sweet break during the day.
