The Vero Elotes lollipop candy is inspired by the classic Mexican street food that is known as elote (grilled corn). The candies focus on being somewhat spicy with a heat rating that's somewhere in the middle to ensure it's enjoyable by all.
Rather than being just sweet or hot, the Vero Elotes lollipop candy focuses on being a mix of flavor profiles that is sweet, sour, salty and spicy. Being that it is an interpretation of a food recipe, the candy is deliciously delectable as an option for those looking for an alternative candy.
The Vero Elotes lollipops are created using a variety of different ingredients and don't focus on using cinnamon for spiciness as with traditional American candies.
