Ingredients

Chamoy Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons chamoy
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons chile-lime seasoning

Candies

  • Peach rings (about 70 grams per batch)
  • Skittles (about 70 grams per batch)
  • Sour Patch Kids (about 70 grams per batch)
  • Swedish Fish (about 70 grams per batch)
  • Jujubes (about 70 grams per batch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chamoy Mixture: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of chamoy with 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of clumps, creating a sweet and tangy base coating for the candies.
  2. Coat the Candies: Place about 70 grams of your chosen candies into a container. Add 1-2 teaspoons of the prepared chamoy mixture to the container. Secure the lid tightly and shake well to ensure the candies are evenly coated with the mixture.
  3. Add the Spice: Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of chile-lime seasoning into the container with the coated candies. Close the lid again and shake to mix evenly. Repeat this process for each batch of candies until all are coated and seasoned. Serve and enjoy your spicy, tangy chamoy candy!
