A beginner’s guide to the salty, sweet, sour, spicy world of Mexican candy

AdvertisementThe story of De La Rosa and its famous peanut marzipan begins with Jesús Michel González and Elvira Velasco Rolón opening a small candy business from their home in Guadalajara in 1942. The logo on its wrapper was originally three strawberries. González changed it to a rose after a competitor with a similar logoIt was a good choice — Guadalajara is nicknamed the city of roses, after all.

That’s about all there is to say about Duvalín — it’s literally just frosting. Totally decent, cupcake-quality frosting. Could it be improved by the inclusion of, say, tiny cookie sticks? Undoubtedly.I didn’t like this initially but, upon retrying, it turned out to be one of my favorites, despite the similarity of the name to “Lucas Mucas,” a moniker I was tortured with in grade school.

It’s pretty fun to do, and it’s tasty too, a favorite of staff videographer Long. It’s basically a gritty tamarind-flavored paste. Extremely gritty. If it were any more gritty, it’d be moonlighting as a hockey mascot. If you can get over that, you’ll enjoy the sweet-sour tamarind flavor that infuses so many Mexican candies.This entry from Grupo Bimbo is essentially a better version of a Kit Kat.

Most of the time, it’s one of those Potter Stewart, know-it-when-I-see-it issues: Cupcakes? While sweet, obviously not candy. Butterscotch? Clearly candy. With the Cuadritos, there was a question if something that was essentially fruit could still be considered candy.

morgfair I love pumpkin Mexican candy. So sweet and delicious. So yummy.

morgfair Duvalin sucks. It's just glorified pudding. Fight me.

This made my mouth water! Mazapan & pulpitas are my favorite!

I discovered Mexican candy when I first moved to California and went into truck stops in convenience stores. My life suddenly got better.

lucaspeterson GustavoArellano food Is there a Mexican candy made from loquats? 🧐

I appreciated this section in my Sunday paper edition. I have not tried several of the items listed, so Lucas Peterson’s taste buds have done the work for me, weeding out the weak links.

where’s the bubulubu 🥺👻

I prefer American candy

No shade but honestly think you could’ve gotten a more original perspective from one of the millions of Mexicans in Los Angeles who grew up eating Mexican candy.

The author is called Lucas! 😂

I invite you to Islam. Become a Muslim. Let your people be Muslims. Read and understand the Quran. The only religion in the sight of Allah is the valid religion, and the last religion is Islam. Eşhedü en la ilahe illallah wa ashhedu anne Muhammeden abduhu ve resulhu
