The Chili Chews team says, “we describe our candy as sweet, sour, and spicy, all in a single bite. But what's interesting about it is it's like a rollercoaster. So you're getting one flavor at a time, but it's all culminating into this basically savory experience that you can't put down. I don't want to use the word addicting, but once you have one, it's very hard not to have two or three or four after that.”

 

Today, we interview Vicken Kejejian, Shant Reganyan, Emilio D’Angelo, Elya D’Angelo, Co-Founders of Chili Chews. Chili Chews is a gourmet candy company taking your tastebuds on a rollercoaster! With roots in Southern California, the company took its love for spicy candy and developed a modern twist on the classics we all love most.
