From sugar-free chamoy to dried fruit snacks with some spice, some Latino entrepreneurs are bringing their own twist on Mexican candy favorites.
When Annie Leal realized her dad, who has diabetes, had no sugar-free alternatives at home, she decided to make some.
The Monterrey, Mexico native made a sugar-free chamoy. It's a tangy, spicy sweet sauce that's popularly paired with fruit, beverages and more. As Leal documented the journey on TikTok, she found a large and supportive community. Schwarz, who is Mexican and Jewish, moved to the U.S. in his 20s. Like Leal, he's also from the state of Monterrey.
One special moment for Schwarz is when actress, producer and director Eva Longoria ordered the treats and shared them on her Instagram.
