PUNCH-YOU-IN-THE-FACE FLAVOR: Guac N' Roll Launches Chamoy Candies
seriously, this stuff is a one-way ticket to Flavor Town
As the boom in Mexican cuisine in Eau Claire continues, Guac N' Roll (420 S. Barstow St.) has stepped up to the plate once again with a new treat that may be unfamiliar to most Midwestern palates. This spring, the locally-owned eatery rolled out a line of chamoy-infused candies to enjoy alongside your south-of-the-border entree orders.
What is chamoy? It's a spice mix – typically seen in a paste form and consistency – with a blend of sweet, salty, and sour flavors that is often spread on fruit as a Mexican street food snack. It has a rich, almost earthy, punch that blends well with sweet flavors – which explains why Guac N' Roll has spread it on everything from peach rings to gummy bears in its new Yummy Gummiez candy line.
For you heat-a-phobes, never fear; while chamoy is made with chile peppers, it's not exactly "hot." It's a different sort of spice, one that is tangy and zesty and sure to clear the sinuses – and leave you wanting another bite.
Yummy Gummiez chamoy candies are sold at Guac N' Roll's brick-and-mortar location, and come in two container sizes: three oz. for $4.50 and eight oz. for $6.99.
