HI-Chew has dropped a new flavor just in time for spring and international travel. Their getaway mix features three adventurous flavors. Not only is it fun and delicious, but it also makes a great travel snack. Let's dive deep into the international flavors of Mango Chamoy, Mai Tai, and Yuzu Lime. As a travel enthusiast and longtime fan of this candy brand, I couldn’t wait to dive in and try the new chewy flavors.
Tasting the tropics: Flavor by flavor
Mango Chamoy, inspired by Mexico, is a bold and exciting twist. Think sweet tropical mango kissed with tangy, salty, and spicy chamoy, a beloved condiment made from pickled fruit. It balances sweetness and heat perfectly, offering a flavor journey that starts juicy and finishes with a gentle kick. If you're a fan of tamarind candies or spicy fruit snacks, this one will definitely hit the spot.
I've had the cocktail Mai Tai plenty of times, but never the candy until receiving the sample. This one was easily my favorite flavor. Mai Tai HI-Chew is a tropical getaway in candy form. Rooted in American Tiki culture, you’ll taste a blend of citrus and rum-inspired flavors (don’t worry, it’s alcohol-free), giving you that beachy cocktail vibe with every chew. It’s smooth, fruity, and seriously addictive.
To round things out is Yuzu Lime. This flavor is bright, zesty, and beautifully balanced. Yuzu is a citrus fruit popular in Japanese cuisine, kind of like a mix between lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin. When paired with lime, it creates a tangy, refreshing burst of flavor that feels both energizing and soothing.
Whether you're traveling IRL or just want a taste of international adventure from your couch, the Getaway Mix delivers a sweet escape with every bite. So, as I dive into my next bag, I'm curious to see which one you want to try first.
