Watermelon Chili Hard Candy, 4 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this spicy-sweet hard candy in the candy aisle, at checkout, or in specialty Latin snack sections — the sort of tangy, playful treat you grab for road trips, movie nights, or to chase a nostalgic candy craving. The glossy, long-lasting texture and a short ingredient list dominated by refined sugar, corn syrup, acids, concentrated natural flavor and color extracts point to intensive industrial processing typical of ultra-processed snacks.
