My parents blew over from Tucson last week and brought me a collection of
El Sabroso snacks. Apparently my brother in Seattle had sent them as part
of a birthday present. Don't ask, I'm not sure I understand either. Most
were okay, but the Mango con Chile is fantastic. Way too hot for anybody
else in the family, but great candy for a chilehead. Chewy dried mango
slices coated with sugar and loaded with chile heat. There's no chile
powder on the stuff so I think the fruit is soaked in chile extract, since
the ingredients list "chili flavor" but no powder. They're hot and great
for a sweet tooth.
