- Chris, is everything OK?
What's going on?
- I ran out of mayonnaise.
- You can't be serious.
- I am.
I was craving something sweet and delicious.
And now I can't have it.
- Chris, if you were craving something sweet,
I promise you there are better options than mayonnaise.
- Ooh, let me guess, you have some Mexican candy?
- Of course I do.
But not just any Mexican candy, traditional Mexican candy.
- Where is this traditional Mexican candy
that you claim is so much better
than my beautiful mayonnaise?
- Open the left cabinet.
I said left.
Your other left.
Open this one, Chris, the left cabinet.
- Oh, I knew that.
So what exactly am I looking at?
Where are the candy wrappers?
- These candies were handmade, so there's no wrapper.
They each take a long time to make,
and are made with simple ingredients.
But most importantly, love.
- Ouch!
- No candy till I tell you what they are.
- I hate this part.
- These are called dulces cristalizados.
Dulces cristalizados means crystallized candy.
- So what flavor's the red one?
- This is dulce de camote, or crystallized sweet potato.
- Sweet potato candy?
That does not sound good.
- Oh, but I bet candied mayo sounds good to you, huh?
- Actually, yeah, that sounds delicious.
- Anyway, the crystallized sugar gives it that thick
and sweet crust, pure deliciousness.
- Ooh, can I try it now?
- No, I'm not done explaining.
This next one is called cocada,
it's made with shredded coconut, milk, and sugar.
- I love coconut.
- This is dulce de leche.
It's a candy made of milk and sugar topped with pecans.
- What about this one?
It looks like a granola bar.
- That is a palanqueta.
It's made with peanuts, seeds, and sugar.
- How do you eat it?
It's a little hard.
- Yeah, it is, but it's delicious.
And then we have alfajor.
This one is made of coconut.
And next we have rollito de guayaba.
Or, rolled candied guava.
- Not a fan of guava, but interesting.
- Next we have ate de membrillo.
It's a sweet jelly made from the pulp of a quince.
- Like a quinceañera?
- No, quince is a type of fruit.
It's like a pear, but harder.
- And lastly, we have cajeta.
This is like caramel, but it's made with goat's milk.
- Goats make milk?
- Yeah, every mammal makes milk, Chris.
- I can make milk?
- Every mammal makes milk, but you're a...
you know what, never mind.
- So can I try the candies now?
- Yeah, but I'm gonna make you rank them.
- What do you mean by that?
So why did I have to be tied up again?
- To add a little spice.
Let's get started.
First, you're gonna rank dulce de camote.
The fact that it's sweet potato
still doesn't sit right with me.
I give it a three.
- Three out of 10?
Your taste buds suck.
But all right, let's try dulce de leche.
- That's a little too sweet for me.
I'll give it a four.
- Four, you can't be serious!
But all right, you're gonna like this one, cocada.
- I love coconut, two.
- Okay.
I'm gonna find a candy you like.
Next, palanqueta.
- Four.
- Alfajor.
- Two!
Rollito de guayaba.
- One!
- Ate de membrillo.
- Can I do a 0.5?
- [Ramon] Dulce de chilacayote.
- Definitely a three.
- You know what, Chris?
You've given every single candy less than five,
but I know for a fact you're gonna love this last one.
Oh yeah, cajeta.
- Hmm, the flavor's so interesting.
Way different than the others.
It's kind of milky, kind of like a little bit like caramel.
I don't know.
It just hits the mouth very different.
And the way it just lands on your tongue
is just very, very interesting.
But I gotta be honest with you.
I give it a zero.
- A zero?
What, are you crazy?
You know what?
Good luck.
- Wait, Ramon, where are you going?
Aren't you gonna come untie me?
Ramon!
I think there's a storm coming, Ramon!
Come untie me!
Ramon!
Come on, please!
I can't get wet, I just got this shirt.
