Klepon

Klepon are enchanting little glutinous rice balls that are one of Indonesia's most beloved traditional snacks (jajan pasar). These chewy, pandan-green spheres conceal a molten center of liquid palm sugar that bursts in your mouth with each bite, followed by the fragrant sweetness of freshly grated coconut coating the outside. Making klepon is a communal activity often done for celebrations, and the moment of biting into one and feeling the warm sugar rush out is pure joy.
