7. Lucas Muecas Pepino

Heat Level

Included is an abundance of pepino chili powder that is ready to satisfy your Mexican candy craving.

You'll want to preferably be at the kitchen table as it is a hands-on experience of sucking and dipping the lollipop in the chili powder container until you run out of chili or the lollipop disappears.

6. Sonrics Rockaleta

Heat Level  

Rockaletas are delicious Mexican lollipops that take you on a multi-layered ride, starting spicy, then turning sweet with every lick until you hit its mango flavored gum center. They are not your average pop as they are quite big and take 5 to 10 minutes to consume. You have been warned!

Each pack comes with three lollipops.

If you are looking to add a little piece of Mexico to your pantry, these will do the trick.

These lollipops are great to enjoy while watching a movie.

Each case comes with 20 Super Rebanaditas lollipops each 25 g. 

 

 

4. Mini Pelon Sal y Limon

Heat Level   

(more like 1/10 pepper, almost unnoticeable hint of spice)

These mini pelones made the list in part to their cuteness but primarily to the ingenious and delicious twist of lime that replaced the classic tamarindo flavor.

So yes, if you like lime, you will love this Mexican candy. Each case comes with 18 Pelones, 13 grams a piece.

P.S. The treat's name loosely translates in English to "Yummy-Hair Baldie". because the candy is squeezed out of a tube through a grate. 

 

 

3. Mazapan cubierto de chocolate

Mazapan covered in a thin layer of milk chocolate. A very delicious Mexican chocolate to have around the house to snack on. The chocolate layer helps the mazapan maintain its integrity and makes it easier to enjoy.

Each pack comes with 16 Mazapanes. Each mazapan is 25g. Total- 400g.

Best if kept in a safe, dry spot.

P.S. Mazapan is made of Marzipan, a confection consisting primarily of honey and almond meal. It is often made into sweets. Marzipan made its way to Europe from China, its country of origin. It was then brought to Mexico from Spain where it is known by its Spanish word Mazapan.

Heat Level   

The authentic tasty flavor of the little parakeet, Portico made the number one slot as it has for many years now delivered a delicious salty and spicy kick to our everyday lives. Particularly now, as many of us are either at home or work, tangy portico powder is nice to have around to add to fruit, beer, or seafood.

Although we do not recommend, if you are up for a challenge, try consuming an entire pack in one sitting.
