Spicy and Tangy Gummy Bears
What it is
These are chewy gummy candies infused with the distinct flavor of chamoy. Chamoy is a traditional Mexican condiment known for its complex taste profile, combining salty, sweet, sour, and chili elements. The gummies offer a playful and accessible way to experience this unique flavor combination in a familiar candy format. They are typically made with fruit flavors that complement the savory and spicy notes of the chamoy.
