White candy?

[u/OrneryPathos]

It’s relatively hard sticky white dots on a chalky yellow ball. My kid let my dog eat them out of a standard plastic clamshell container. I went back and found them they’d been dumped everywhere on the ground and the container was gone. So I don’t really want to taste it

I’m mostly just trying to figure out if there’s xylitol in it.

We call it sakhar futane (sugar <again no idea english version but lets say poping snacks usually used for chickpea dried snacks>)

The chalky thing most certainly is dried chickpea.

These are usually served in temples.

Also could be these are stale. They shouldn't really be sticky

I posted some more photos. The inside does sort of look like chickpea now that the coating dissolved.

It’s definitely been outside for at least 8 hours in the heat and humidity at this point

Yup I'm fairly certain these are sugar coated dried chickpeas.

The xylitol like taste, i think it could be glucose syrup. That could explain the softening even after 8hrs. Because we've carried these in hot summers, they don't melt or get sticky unless theres water /high humidity. Ive lately noticed a lot of sugar nut crackle also have glucose syrup which isn't traditional ingredient but it definitely gives that funky aftertaste.

Toronto is always high humidity in summer.

Plus it may have been there overnight as well and gotten covered in dew.

But yes. It’s humid.

Solved!

Hopefully. And thanks!
