Happy New Year! Those look so good. They look like empanadas, don't they?! I've never had a peanut puff, but I would so eat one.
Hello Sweetiepie!Peanut foods are so common in Asia, right? That familiar taste -from sauces to desserts! Yes, I have tasted small peanut puffs from a Chinese store and it's good. Those small mandarin oranges are just so nice also :) Happy Chinese New Year too!
