What Is a chamoy pickle (delicious)?

The Popularity of Chamoy Pickles

1. One standout example in the world of chamoy pickles is the “Big Tex Dill Pickle In Chamoy” from Alamo Candy, a Texas-based company specializing in American and Mexican candies since 1991.

What’s Included in a Chamoy Pickle Kit?

1. Chamoy pickle kits typically come with a variety of toppings and accompaniments. For instance, a complete kit might include Fruit by the Foot to wrap around the pickle, hot chips like Takis or Cheetos to stuff inside a hollowed-out pickle, and sour candies to add an extra tang. My kit from A Box You Can Count On also featured lollipops, Gushers, hot sauce, and sour candy powders. An interesting addition was a pair of disposable gloves, provided to prevent staining your hands—a thoughtful touch that was both appreciated and a bit concerning.
