Hot Tamales 22g: Small Box, Big Heat
Looking for candy with a bold personality? Hot Tamales have been cranking up the cinnamon heat since the 1950s—and they’re still going strong today. Now available at YEG Exotic in a convenient 22g mini box, these chewy, spicy candies are perfect for snacking, sharing, or bringing a little fire to your candy stash.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or curious to try them for the first time, Hot Tamales are a unique candy experience that hits with bold flavour and classic chewy texture.
What Are Hot Tamales?
Hot Tamales are chewy cinnamon-flavoured candies known for their bright red colour, intense spice, and nostalgic appeal. Each piece delivers a warming, tingly heat with a candy-sweet finish, creating a satisfying chew with every bite.
The 22g box is just the right size for tossing into a bag, sharing at the movies, or keeping on hand when your sweet tooth demands something with a bit of fire. It’s a small package—but don’t let the size fool you. These candies still pack plenty of heat.
