**The Extravaganza of Mexican Candy: A Sweet, Spicy and Tangy Festival for Your Palate**
Chances are you have already tasted some Mexican sweets if you have visited the streets of Mexico or walked in the international section of the supermarket. Mexican candies are not mere sweets; they are an entire experience. They are an explosion of flavor ranging from spicy to sweet, tangy and sometimes all three at once. Like the culture, Mexican sweets are unapologetic and vibrant with an element of surprise to them.
### The Heritage of Taste
The roots of Mexican candy can be traced back to the Aztecs and Mayans who were already consuming honey, cocoa and amaranth long before the Spanish ever set foot in the country. The introduction of sugar was a game changer. When sweet fruits such as tamarind, mango and guava were introduced, the Aztecs were able to create magic.
However, Mexican sweets are not limited to sugar. There is more to it, such as spice. The introduction of chili powder, lime, and salt into the sweet creates an enigmatic taste you can never get tired of. It is an excellent example of the Mexican palate where no sapor goes unnoticed.
