Hot Tamales: The cinnamon candy that's setting the USA on fire
If you thought candy was only sweet and fruity, Hot Tamales will change your mind. Since 1950, these little red capsules produced by the Just Born confectionery company (creators of the famous Mike and Ike ) have been delighting American taste buds.
It's officially the number one cinnamon candy in the United States. But be warned, forget the mild cinnamon in your baked goods: this is "Fierce Cinnamon." An intense, fiery flavor that delivers an immediate burst of heat. It's the perfect snack for those looking for a sweet thrill.
MoreThe Hot Tamales experience: an addictive contrast
The success of Hot Tamales lies in a perfect balance between texture and feel:
- Outside: a thin, crisp red shell.
- Inside: a soft, chewy center similar to a jelly bean.
As soon as you bite into it, the sweetness arrives first, quickly followed by a rise in temperature. It's not a burning chili pepper, but an aromatic warmth that tingles the tongue and awakens the senses.
A format for every craving for spice
At Pop's America, we offer "Fierce Cinnamon" in two forms to suit your needs:
- The pocket size: Opt for the Hot Tamales Fierce Cinnamon (22g) , the perfect dose to always have your quota of spice on hand.
- The Theater Box format: Turn to the iconic Hot Tamales Format Theater Box , the cult cardboard box of American cinemas.
An institution of US Pop culture
In the United States, hot tamales are everywhere. They're used to decorate unique cakes, to spice up a bowl of popcorn, or simply to warm up on a cold day. No need to fly to America to take on the challenge: Pop's America imports these red legends straight from the factory for you.
