  • JJ and Rudy Jimenez are a brother and sister team making Mexican-American fusion candy out of their parents' home in Brenham, Texas. After seeing dulces enchilados blow up on social media last May, Rudy was eager to try the sweet, sour, and spicy treats. So JJ and Rudy went to the store and whipped up a batch of their own. From there, the company Enchilositos Treats was born.

    As a Mexican American in Texas who’s constantly surrounded by these types of candies, im genuinely surprised they have such a successful business. It’s not an original idea, they’re super common if you’re from a border state. They must be really smart to be able to utilize social media better than their competitors. (Also, I thought it’s illegal to buy food and resell it? I always thought they couldn’t do that considering the other Mexican candy brands use knock offs.)

      I worked for a guitar company and the owner said the same thing. We shouldn’t show our process while others in the industry do show their staining and painting processes and fact of the matter is, if people like what you do and you do it consistently. Then it doesn’t matter who knows how to do it, people will come to you for reliability and convenience. Everyone can do this for sure but maybe .5% will even try to make it from home and likely even less will try to make an actual business of it..

    They didn't create this fusion... It has been around for years! Come to Texas and this is literally sold everywhere you go. Kudos to them but they did not start nor create this!

      There’s more to a business than that lol managing website, managing social media, creating content, taking care of orders, distributing, looking for suppliers etc
