Hot Tamales

These spicy, cinnamon-flavored chews came onto the market in 1950, created in the US by Just Born, a family-owned candy company based in Pennsylvania. In 1999, it was the top selling cinnamon candy. Hot Tamales gets its name from the candies' pungent cinnamon flavor with a kick. They have a similar texture and size to the previously released Mike and Ike candies by the same company.
