Welcome to Irapuato, GTO 
I would love to try some of those candies. Our candies don’t usually have any spicy ingredients. They’re mostly made of sugar.
After reading about the few candies in your country they sound delicious. My favorite candy is mango chile powder! Some of the candies we have in the U.S. are chocolate, bubble gum suckers, laffy taffy, gummy bears. I will be visiting mexico in a few years to buy hundreds of chile powders.
Some of these candies sound really good. Where I live we don’t really have the spicy and chili flavored candies. We have stuff like bubble gum, chocolate bars, Skittles, and fruit flavored suckers.
Yes we have many candies but not like in mexico
This candy looks really yummy! I would love to try some someday.
Those candies sound good. I have never had any spicy candy, the candy i usually eat is sweet. I would like to try some of that candy sometime.
Oh My God i am mexican and i love mexican candy it is the bomb. Most of the candy we have here is good but not as good as the ones in mexico like masapan, paletas de chile. Man i wish i could be over there to eat some mexican candy
I like mexican candy its really good.
I love mexican candy whenever my family and I go to Mexico I try to get a lot of them.
Does any of this candy ship to different countries?
I have never seen candy exactly like any in the pictures on this blog in Goodland, KS.
You´ll have to come visit us to try it! It probably does ship to other countries though, and if you go to other towns, you might find Mexican stores that have it!
Im going to mexico in the summer i am going to buy lots of mexican candy
Thanks, for the reply. I will have to take that into consideration. Thanks
I had a question that I was wondering if anyone could answer. What is the “Mazapan”? Are the Mazapan and the dela Rosa the same thing?
I have had a lot of mexican candy but the ones I saw on your website i have never heard of. I sure would like to try them.
I’ve noticed that mexican candy tends to have some unusual flavors, lots of salt and many different combinations. I still enjoy it though. I like different, it kind of makes you step back and so-to-speak see (taste) the world!
