Hotlix Candy
Hotlix Candy is a unique and innovative brand specializing in creating edible insect treats. Established in the early 1980s in a Pismo Beach, California candy store, the brand's name and initial fame came from its hot cinnamon sucker, which remains a popular product to this day.
The original Hotlix is a testament to the brand's creativity and audacity, as it was the first candy to incorporate real insects, starting with a tequila-flavored sucker that included a real worm inside. This groundbreaking candy-making approach has since expanded to include insect-based treats like candies with scorpions, crickets, ants, and earthworms.
The company takes pride in its use of Culinary Grade A insects, adhering to the Edible Insects Grading System EIGS Standards, ensuring that all insect-based products are of the highest quality. Hotlix's mission is to bring fun and enjoyment to the consumption of insects, known as entomophagy, by offering a range of colorful and creative sweets that aim to put a smile on people's faces.
Hotlix's product line includes an assortment of flavors and insect varieties, such as Scorpion Jewels, Ant-Lix, Crick-ettes, and Larvets Snax, which offer a unique and unforgettable snacking experience. The brand has been pushing the boundaries of what is considered normal in the candy world for over 30 years, making it a trailblazer in the edible insect industry.
Despite the novelty and unique appeal of Hotlix, the brand ensures that all its insect-based treats are safe for consumption and meet high-quality standards. This has helped to make Hotlix a popular choice for those seeking a distinctive and adventurous candy experience.
