Tamalitoz by Sugarox Review
From the Name to Packaging:
Austin, Texas-based couple Jack Bessudo and Declan Simmons created Tamalitoz.’
The name originated when Sugarox made their tasty watermelon with chili candies, and a customer commented that the candies looked like tiny candy tamales.
In Spanish, it is “Tamalitos”.
Bessudo and Simmons swapped the /s/, and added a /z/, and that’s how they became “Tamalitoz.”
During the pandemic, Bessudo learned how to paint.
Watercolor, to be exact.
That lesson carried over to Tamalitoz.
He designed and created the packaging for Gorgeous Green Apple, and Cherry It’s a Fire, Bite Me Blood Orange, Cranberry Fantasy and Peach Slapped.
Each fruit flavor of Tamalitoz hard candy comes in a resealable 4oz bag.
Each bag displays a beautiful watercolor portrait painted by co-owner Jack Bessudo.
It is the perfect size to take anywhere.
It will fit in your purse, car console, glove box, lunch box, etc.
Flavors range from those typical to an American candy shelf — cherry and green apple — to some inspired by classic Mexican confections.
Tamalitoz offers popular flavors like Cherry, Green Apple, and Watermelon, and some south-of-the-border flavors like Blood Orange and Tamarind.
Tamalitoz has 8 Amazing Fruit flavors:
- Bite Me Blood Orange
- Gorgeous Green Apple
- Divine Watermelon

We received all eight flavors, and we did some taste testing!
We found this from each fruity flavor with the chili, lime, and sea salt middle.
*Bite Me Blood Orange-
Nice orange punch, sweet but tangy smooth.
The Chili lime middle comes on slow, then packs a punch!
The chili is warm, not hot.
The Lime and sea salt are cool and fizzy.
*Lip Smacking Mango-
The smooth, sweet flavor intensifies when the Chili and Lime merge with the Mango.
*Gorgeous Green Apple-
Sour and tangy Green Apple flavor.
The Chili Lime and sea salt flavors surge with the Green Apple flavors to kick up the intensity of this flavor!
*Pineapple Galore-
Nice, sweet, crisp pineapple flavor.
The flavors Pop when the Chili Lime and Sea Salt flavor oozes out and combines with the Pineapple.
It’s an explosion in your mouth!
*Divine Watermelon-
Cool, crisp watermelon flavor.
When the Chili Lime flavor mixes with the Watermelon, it adds a little spice!
It now is Crisp, Clean, slightly spicy.
The Lime and Sea Salt helps cool the flavor of the chili.
*Cucumber Extravaganza-
Nice, smooth, crisp, refreshing Cucumber flavor.
Just a hint of the Chili Lime flavor turns this smooth, crisp flavor into a very intense smooth, crisp, and warm flavor.
*Tantalizing Tamarind-
Sweet and tangy, slightly tart flavor.
The Chili and Lime mix with this flavor gives it a more intense burst of flavor.
*Cherry It’s a Fire-
Intense cool and tart Cherry flavor.
When the Chili and Lime hit your taste buds, it’s like all three flavors exploding and the same time!
Very intense and satisfying flavors.
This one seems to have a more intense chili flavor.
It makes it a tart but spicy flavor!
