Caramelo

Caramelo is a popular Mexican confection that combines chewy, taffy-like candy with a crunchy, caramelized sugar shell. Made typically from caramelized sugar, water, and sometimes flavorings like vanilla or fruit, it often features a soft, sticky interior coated with a brittle, golden crust. Commonly enjoyed as a sweet snack or treat, caramelo offers a pleasing contrast between its smooth, chewy center and its crisp outer layer. Its texture and taste make it a beloved traditional candy enjoyed across Mexico and Latin America.
