Dragon's beard candy (or Chinese cotton candy) is a handmade traditional art of China. It is also a traditional Chinese sweet similar to floss halva or cotton candy, which can be found in many Chinese communities.

Dragon's beard candy was initially created in China, but soon spread in popularity and became a regional delicacy in other parts of East Asia, as well as (and more recently) Canada, Singapore, the United States, Macau, and Japan.

It has a high sugar content (19%), and 2% saturated fat content. By comparison, cotton candy is fat-free with very high sugar content (94%).

Dragon's beard candy has a very short shelf life. It is highly sensitive to moisture and tends to melt when exposed to higher temperatures, notably during warm weather.
