Tamalitoz Review

 Growing up in southern California I grew up eating Mexican candy. That delicious combination of spicy, sweet and salty. It is a flavor I crave and always gives me a nostalgic feeling. I remember as a little girl walking to my grandmother's neighbor's house after school because she had a little table set up inside her home where she sold a variety of sweet and salty candy's. Saladitos, Tamarindo, Diablitos, Chamoy and my favorite Vero mango lollipops. It wasn't until years later that I learned that many of those candy's may have contained some questionable not so healthy ingredients. So, I was pretty excited to learn about Tamalitoz by Sugarox. 

The owners of Sugarox, that started out as a small candy store in Mexico making small batch hard candy, decided to create a line of candy's inspired by my favorite Mexican sweets. But, with a twist! While most Mexican candies are covered with chili on the outside. Tamalitoz contain chili on the inside. So, you get a sweet exterior with an explosion of chili flavor on the inside. 

Their Divine Watermelon hard candies are sweet watermelon on the outside, but as you continue to savor these you start to get a hint of chili lime and once you get to the middle of these little pillows that delicious chili taste fills your mouth. They are really good! So good in fact that I left an open bag on the counter while I was at work and when I got home, they were all gone. My husband devoured these. 

Their Chili Pops Chamoy are naturally flavored cucumber, coconut and tamarind flavored lollipops with swirls of chamoy. They are so tasty and remind me of my favorite Vero lollipops. I hear they also have a mango flavored one that I must try. 

In addition to these candy's, I also tried their Palomitaz Lip Smackign Mango Popcorn. I love adding Tajin to my popcorn, so I knew I was going to love this. Salty, sweet with a hint of chili this popcorn snack is addictive. I would have finished the whole bag myself it wasn't for my husband again who also enjoyed these. 

Tamalitoz has definitely found a new fan and consumer in me. I am excited to try some of the other varieties of candies and popcorn that they sell. Check them out here!
