Miguelito
Original Miguelito powder, the sweet and tangy chili candy powder you eat straight, sprinkle on fruit or use to rim a glass, plus Miguelito lollipops.
What is Miguelito powder?
Miguelito is a chili candy powder: sweet, tangy and just a little spicy. In Mexico kids eat it straight, licking it off a finger, or sprinkle it over fruit, candy and lollipops. It's one of those corner store flavors that stays with you forever. It comes as a fine, brightly colored powder.
How do you use Miguelito powder?
Sprinkle it on mango, cucumber, jícama or watermelon with lime; use it to rim a michelada or mangonada; or toss it with gummies and chamoy. Some people mix it with chamoy into a paste and spread it on fruit. It works on popcorn and chips too. The big tub covers a party or a fruit stand.
Flavors and sizes
You'll find original Miguelito, the Mora Azul flavor, the flavor mix and the big tub, plus Miguelito's chile-coated raqueta lollipops. For kids, the original is the classic pick; for something different, try Mora Azul. At MexGoodies it's original Miguelito, shipped anywhere in the U.S. in 3 to 7 days (Canada too).
Frequently asked questions
Is Miguelito powder spicy?
Barely. It's more sweet and tangy than hot, which is why kids love it so much.
Are Miguelito and chamoy the same thing?
No. Miguelito is a powder and chamoy is a sauce, but they go great together: chamoy first, then Miguelito on top.
How do you rim a glass with Miguelito?
Wet the rim with lime or chamoy and dip the glass upside down into a plate of Miguelito. It turns out sweet, tangy and full of color.
