Product Description
Pelon Pelo Rico Tamarind Candy is one of the most popular spicy candies in Mexico. It is a traditional tamarind-flavored candy full of Tamarind pulp in a push-pop way so that the inner tamarind pulp candy arrives at the surface.
It is also interesting that “pelon” means “without hair”. This fact may be one of the funniest entertainments for your children, because they only need to push for the cylindrical figure to have hair again! And also, after it’s all pressed, you can just remove the internal recipient, and you’ll find much more tamarind Pelon Pelo Rico soft Candy.
You may remember that Pelon Pelo Rico Tamarindo Candy was one of the leading Mexican treats for a whole generation. So it will definitery fill all your expectations!
You can be sure this soft Mexican tamarind pulp candy will bring you back to your childhood, as when you were with your friends at the ¨Pinata’s Parties. Also because it keeps all the essence of Mexican traditions.
Enjoy this traditional Mexican Candy!
