De la Rosa Gomita Cubierta Con Chile Sandia

These watermelon-flavored gummy lollipops, coated with a delicious chili crust, are called ‘rebanaditas,’ and they’re a beloved snack in much of Mexico. These flavor combinations come with a hefty dose of history—they combine ancient Aztec and Mayan recipes for sweets with those of the Spanish settlers, who preferred sweeter notes. Throw cacao beans, chilis, milk, sugar, honey, and more into the mix, and the result is the amazing combinations you’re sampling today! Get through the chili to advance onto the sweet, tangy, gummy center, and maybe you’ll find that suddenly you’re missing the chili coating…
