CHI CHI DANGO - Japanese dessert image

Now here is a dessert that has been around our family table forever. I have since been teaching and making this with my first grand daughter for the past 4 years, she is now 8 years old. She just loves this dessert and started asking to help make it when she was 4 years old. Chi Chi Dango is so esthetically pleasing to the eye...

The Chi Chi Dango was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dango balls turned out too hard. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
