I’m not sure about all of you, but when I’m bored AF, I just search #smallbusinesses on TikTok to find things I can buy because retail therapy is a REAL THING, OK!? Leave me alone. (Also, yes I have a shopping problem, sue me). 

Anywayyyy, I found this chili candy company called Chili Babe Dulceria that looked amazing, so I just had to try it. For those of you who don’t know what chili candy is, you have my condolences. Chili candy is basically candy on steroids. It’s covered in a chili powder akin to tajin and a sweet/spicy sauce like chamoy and it makes for the most amazing combo of spicy and sweet. 

Chili Babe Duceria has a bunch of candy options. They aren’t all vegan, but some are, which is awesome!  I ordered the chili skittles and the chili watermelon sour patch to try.

My review: the skittles were ok! I probably wouldn’t order them again. I thought the seasoning could have been stronger and maybe could have had some more chamoy on it. However, the sour patch watermelon was really great!! I think, in general, the stickier the candy, the better the candy gets infused with the seasoning. So the hard shell of the skittles didn’t soak up the flavor as much if that makes sense.
