What is Chin Chin?

Chin chin is a popular African fried pastry made from a simple dough and ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and added flavor concentrates like vanilla and chocolate. These treats come in various shapes and sizes like the bestselling AllAfricanDelight’s vanilla-flavoured Chin Chin that comes in stick-sized shapes. 

These treats that were once only prepared for special occasions in Africa have now evolved to be an everyday snack but still maintain an element of nostalgia, especially for the immigrant population of Canada. Chin Chin, although originated in Africa, are now famous in various parts of the world and are called by different names in different countries like Shakkar Para in India, Uraro in  Filipino, and so on.
