JJ and Rudy Jimenez are a brother and sister team making Mexican-American fusion candy out of their parents’ home in Brenham, Texas.

From there, the company Enchilositos Treats was born.

  1. Good for them … but how are they allowed to do it from home? I’m doing something similar added with shaved ice and are required servsafe certification which I have .. and a commissary to prepare in a safe and sanitized place.. don’t understand how it’s allowed

  2. Ordered from them. Took like two weeks to get here wtf????? Slow asf. They still haven’t hired anyone else to help with orders and sent me an email saying sorry it’s only us. Dude, you guys are earning enough, hire others to help. Obviously you guys can’t move fast.

  3. I love making my own I have a tote full of candy I got my tajin and chamoy and other spices to make some whenever I’m wanting some I’ve bought from different sellers and tried them and I love how they all are different but still good

  4. 105k per year for 2 people is not a lot of money, considering the time and expenses put into the business. However, if they scale it to make double the money or more, then it's worth it.

  5. Nice 👍🏽 I love candy like those. And I wish them the best. Jus wish at the same time they would take there health because being that obese isn’t good for u. But hey to each there own…. Us in America we have a big big issue with this and heart disease is the leading cause of death in men…

  6. Super good candy, it’s a bit over priced (doesn’t matter what you say, it is over priced.) but I’ll still support ! 🙂 Now they have to find a way to not let it stick all inside the bag and containers.
