\"\"<\/p>\n

While seemingly every candy brand is hell bent on making its products airy and crispy with the freeze-dried fad, Skittles is bringing the salty, squishy heat with a new line of Fuego Gummies. This, of course, is in addition to their already available freeze-dried Pop\u2019d line<\/a>, but regardless, it\u2019s welcome to see something different coming out in the fruity candy market.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Skittles Gummies Fuego offers five flavors, spanning some of the Original flavors along with some Tropical ones \u2014 strawberry, lemon, watermelon, lemon, mango, and raspberry. The gummies themselves aren\u2019t flavored any differently than a normal pack, but rather come rolled in a mixture of chili powder and salt that brings new taste, texture, and life to the Gummies experience.<\/p>\n

There is no added lime, but the gritty, spiced up salty flavor tossed generously on every fruity candy reminds me a lot of Tajin seasoning, and I really like it. I\u2019ve had several other gummies, like peach rings, tossed in Tajin and sold as a direct collaboration, so the pairing works great.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What sets these apart from a bag of peach or apple rings tossed in Tajin is the smaller size and variety of flavors that come in one package. It\u2019s a lot more fun, and most of them come across really well. The mango and watermelon feel perfectly in line with the fruits that organically pair with a salty, slightly spicy chili profile found in many Mexican candies. The strawberry and lemon stand out as the most distinctly Skittles-tasting. There\u2019s something about the original Skittles strawberry that is so unique to the brand, and I\u2019ve always loved it. While it still stands out as Skittles strawberry or lemon, the salty chili amplifies and complements the familiar flavor delightfully.<\/p>\n

The only one that doesn\u2019t really work for me is the raspberry, and I usually enjoy raspberry-flavored candies. The company doesn\u2019t call it blue raspberry, but the candy is blue and has that more artificial-leaning aggressive candy taste that clashes a bit with the salted chili powder coating. It\u2019s not awful, but it\u2019s the one I want to come back to the least, and would have happily swapped it out with a more established Skittles Tropical flavor, like pineapple or banana, to make this Fuego bag perfecto.<\/p>\n
