Discover the Sweet Simplicity of De La Rosa Mazapan: A Mexican Classic Now at YEG Exotic
There’s something magical about a candy that instantly transports you to another place with just one bite. That’s exactly what happens when you unwrap a De La Rosa Mazapan—a traditional Mexican treat made from crushed peanuts and sugar, blended into a crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth delight that’s both nostalgic and incredibly satisfying.
At YEG Exotic, Edmonton’s destination for bold global snacks, we’re proud to bring mazapanes to our shelves and introduce more people to this iconic Mexican candy. Whether you grew up with it or you’re discovering it for the first time, De La Rosa Mazapan is a must-try for candy lovers craving unique textures and rich flavour.
What Is De La Rosa Mazapan?
Mazapan, or marzipan in English, traditionally refers to a sweet made from almonds. But in Mexico, the word has taken on a new form, using peanuts as the primary ingredient. De La Rosa’s version is the most beloved and recognisable, featuring a round disc of delicate, crumbly peanut candy wrapped in a bright yellow label adorned with a red rose.
This candy has been a household favourite in Mexico for decades and is now gaining international popularity thanks to its unique flavour profile and satisfying texture. It’s sweet, nutty, and oh-so-soft—but don’t let its delicate appearance fool you. The moment you unwrap one, you’ll be hooked.
The Perfect Balance of Texture and Flavour
What sets De La Rosa Mazapan apart from other peanut-based treats is its melt-in-your-mouth texture. Unlike peanut brittle or roasted peanut bars, mazapanes are soft, powdery, and creamy. They practically dissolve on your tongue, leaving a rich, roasted peanut flavour that’s both simple and indulgent.
This makes it a fantastic option for those who appreciate natural-tasting sweets with minimal ingredients. It’s a candy that’s delicious without being over-processed—just peanuts, sugar, and a pinch of magic.
Mazapanes as a Cultural Favourite
Mazapanes are more than just candy—they’re cultural icons. In Mexico, they’re a staple at celebrations like birthdays, holidays, and family gatherings. Many people have childhood memories of being gifted a mazapan or trying to open one without it crumbling (a near-impossible feat and a rite of passage in itself!).
At YEG Exotic, we love showcasing treats that carry this kind of cultural significance. Our mission is to bring the world’s flavours to Edmonton, one bite at a time—and De La Rosa Mazapan fits perfectly into that vision.

How to Enjoy Your Mazapan
De La Rosa Mazapan is versatile—enjoy it straight from the wrapper, crumble it over ice cream, blend it into milkshakes, or even use it as a topping for desserts like brownies or cupcakes. Want to level it up? Try refrigerating it before eating—it gives a slightly firmer texture while preserving the same iconic flavour.
Some even like to dip it in chocolate or sandwich it with Nutella. However you choose to enjoy it, one thing’s for sure: you’ll be reaching for another.
