Learn how to make edible ingots with contemporary fillings such as chocolate brownie, brown sugar blondie, and almond marzipan while borrowing traditional baked mooncake-making pastry techniques. Chinese ingots represent prosperity, luck, and wealth. They were historically used as currency in China and made from gold or silver. Today, these ingots are symbolic and are often seen in decorations during Lunar New Year to attract financial success, and good fortune for the coming year.
