Also, "Glorias". They are a cross between dulce de leche/caramel. So good.
Mazapan is another one. All of these are very authentic and am sure your guests would love if only for the novelty!
I'm having a candy buffett too and am so excited!! my FI and I love pulparindo, but there were warnings awhile ago that they could contain traces of lead, so we no longer eat them.
FYI, mazapan is actually spelled MARZIPAN

A sweet peanut based confection. I also had chili flovored lolipops, Esponge Bob (Sponge Bob) gum with rub on tattoos, taramind candy,Ibarra Mexican Chocolate, and a few others. If i can find the names of the candy and or web site, I'll post them later. karen thats awesome! de la rosa makes some of my fave candies. marzipan is actually not peanut based, it's made from almonds.
i LOOOOOOVE the chile flavored lollipops - there's a special one that they give out at a specific taco chain restaurant in mx that i am obsessed with, and when my FI was just in mexico he got like 20 of them one night he went there and brought them back as part of my present haha.
did the package for your sponge bob stuff really say "esponge bob"? i ask because in mexico, he's called "bob esponja"
the tamarind candy is pulparindo
