Making Mexican Chamoy Candies
Place the gummies in a mixing basin and stir.
The Chamoy sauce and two tablespoons of Tajin seasoning are
then added.
To thoroughly coat the candy in sauce and seasoning, stir
well.
Transfer the gummy candies to a drying rack and leave them
there for at least an hour to dry.
The remaining 2 teaspoons of Tajin seasoning should be
combined with the granulated sugar in a small mixing dish. Mix thoroughly.
When the candies are mostly dry but still feel somewhat
tacky to the touch, they are ready to be tossed in the sugar.
They are covered in the sugar combination of granules. To
ensure there is space in the bowl for tossing the gummy candies in the sugar,
work in small batches.
The remaining gummy candy should be repeated.
Put the finished Chamoy candies in a bowl or a Ziploc bag to
keep them for later use.
