  3. Growing up in kaduna back then, I had a weakness for the local threats, coconut candy,groundnut candy, sugar candy, cotton candy, Alewa,infact all the candies.I,d spend every last penny on them, Thankfully my sweet tooth didn't lead to any cavities.

    1. It's tanfiri.
      Same as Peanut balls.
      If you want a better aroma, blend dry cloves and add as last powder before moulding.

      I've not had Ekana Gowon before.

      I preferred mazarkwaila(jaggery). I had it every week.

      Forgive me.

      If you attended a particular kind of school, it'll mean nothing.
      Just a goodies' corner for kiddos in school.

      Appear with your luncheon voucher, pick what your parents already paid for.

    1. I eat all the snacks I ate as a child still. Growing up did not make me stop liking anything. Although, I will admit some things are harder to find or seem to have disappeared.

      Keep enjoying your childhood snacks.

  11. I can make Donkwa..Quite easy and simple....Roast your groundnut, corn grains and dry red pepper. Once golden brown, dry blend then add your granulated sugar and use your hand to mix them very well....mix it till it starts having oil...Roll into balls and there you have it...

    Donkwa is ready
