Pelón Peloneta — Lollipop with Chamoy
Our Pelón Peloneta is the original push-pop lollipop filled with smooth tamarind chamoy candy. Each tube delivers that signature sweet-sour-spicy punch Mexico’s candy lovers have enjoyed for decades. The twist-up design lets you control every lick, so the candy lasts as long as you want it to.
We make Pelón Peloneta for anyone who craves bold, layered flavor in a portable format. Kids love the interactive push-up mechanism, and adults appreciate the authentic chamoy taste that balances sweetness with a gentle kick of chili. Whether you’re new to Mexican candy or grew up with it, this lollipop brings nostalgia and excitement in every bite.
What’s inside every Pelón Peloneta
Flavor profile — sweet tamarind meets chamoy spice
Pelón Peloneta balances three distinct flavor waves in every lick. The base is pure tamarind pulp, which brings natural tartness and a hint of fruitiness. We blend in cane sugar to round out the sour edges, then finish with a dusting of chili powder that adds warmth without overwhelming heat.
Chamoy candy is all about contrast, and our Peloneta delivers that layered experience from start to finish. The first taste is sweet and tangy, then the chili warmth builds gently on your tongue. It’s the same bold combination you’ll find in our Pelón Pelo Rico tamarind candy, adapted here into a twist-up lollipop format. If you’ve never tried chamoy before, expect a flavor somewhere between sweet candy and savory snack — a uniquely Mexican treat that keeps you coming back for more.
Push-pop design for mess-free enjoyment
The tube mechanism is what sets Pelón Peloneta apart from traditional lollipops. Instead of a stick, the candy sits inside a plastic cylinder with a twist base. Turn the base clockwise and the candy rises to the top, ready for your next lick. This design keeps your hands clean and the candy protected between snacking sessions.
You control the pacing. Take a few licks, cap the tube, and slip it into your pocket or bag. The candy won’t melt, crumble, or stick to anything. Kids love the interactive element — twisting and licking becomes part of the fun. Parents appreciate that there’s no wrapper litter and no sticky fingers to clean up afterward.

Questions about Pelón Peloneta
Pelón Peloneta tastes like sweet tamarind candy with a tangy, slightly spicy chamoy finish. The base flavor is fruity and tart from tamarind pulp, balanced with cane sugar for sweetness. A dusting of chili powder adds gentle heat that builds as you enjoy the lollipop. The combination is classic Mexican chamoy — sweet, sour, and spicy all at once.
Twist the base of the tube clockwise to push the candy upward. Lick the top of the candy, then twist again when you want more. The push-pop design lets you control how much candy is exposed at any time. When you’re done snacking, replace the cap to keep the candy fresh until next time.
Pelón Peloneta has mild to moderate spice from chili powder. The heat is gentle and builds gradually, making it approachable for most palates. If you’re sensitive to spice, you may notice warmth on your tongue, but it won’t overpower the sweet tamarind flavor. Kids and adults both enjoy the balanced kick.
You can purchase Pelón Peloneta directly from our online store, at select grocery retailers with international candy sections, and at Mexican specialty shops. We offer single tubes and multi-packs for stocking up. Check the store locator on our site to find a retailer near you, or order online for home delivery.
Pelón Peloneta contains artificial color to achieve its distinctive look. The tamarind flavor comes from real tamarind pulp concentrate, and the chili seasoning uses natural chili powder. We disclose all ingredients on the product label, so you can review the full list before purchasing.
A single Pelón Peloneta can last anywhere from one sitting to several snacking sessions, depending on how quickly you lick and twist. The tube design lets you pace yourself — enjoy a few licks, cap it, and come back later. Most people finish one tube over the course of a day or two.
You can refrigerate Pelón Peloneta if you prefer a firmer texture, but it’s not required. Room temperature storage in a cool, dry place is sufficient. Avoid freezing, as extreme cold can make the candy brittle and harder to twist up smoothly.
