Sweet peach rings soaked with chamoy, and sprinkled with Tajin are a simple sweet and sour treat you can prepare at home. Chamoy peach rings are one of the many varieties of this cult Mexican candy. In Mexico, you will discover them at markets as well as in grocery stores and even in high-end candy shops. It’s sweet, spicy, tart, and tangy all at once. It’s also completely addictive! If you’re a fan of Mexican gummies made with chamoy, you’ll surely want to make my recipe for mango gummies that are spicy as well.
There are a lot of mass-produced Mexican candy products that fall in this category, like the osos enchilados (chili and chamoy chewy bears) and pica fresas (a strawberry gummy that has the coating of chamoy candy). I prefer the homemade small-scale method, so that you have the ability to control the amount of sweet, sour, or spicy you’d like your gummies to taste.

Ingredients for Making Chamoy Peach Rings
There are just three components in the recipe, and you will typically locate them all on the internet or in any Mexican supermarket.
- Gummy Rings with Peach Flavor – You can purchase any of the brands of gummies you enjoy to create your chamoy peach ring. The ones shown here are available in bulk at my local supermarket, and I also like Trolli peach rings and Albanese peach rings. You can find these gummies online in large quantities or at a local supermarket or in the candy aisle of your local chain pharmacy with smaller bags.
- Liquid Chamoy – This popular snacking sauce made of pickled fruits is sold throughout Mexico. The brand featured here is Tajin Chamoy, which has a much thicker consistency than others I’ve tried. Sweet, salty, and a bit hot, it comes in a variety of brands to choose from: Chamoy Mega, Amor Chamoy, and Bokados are just a few that I’ve come across that are consistently available across the U.S. The primary difference between the products is their consistency, and some are more salty or sweeter. You can choose the product you find at the store that perfectly suits your individual taste. I also like Miguelito liquid Chamoy.
- Tajin – Dried lime, chile peppers, and salt are the main ingredients of this well-known spice. It’s very well-liked in Mexico and over the past few years has started to be introduced into mainstream American supermarkets. It’s delicious to sprinkle on fruits or vegetables, as a rim for drinks glasses, and much more. Some of my top recipes using Tajin include Mexican-style Pico de Gallo, mangonadas, mangonada popsicles, as well as crunchy roasted chickpeas, just to mention some.
How to Make Chamoy Peach Rings at Home
With just three ingredients and no cooking required, this recipe is simple to prepare. The most difficult aspect is awaiting the chamoy to be absorbed into the gummies.
PRO TIP: A kitchen scale comes in useful to weigh your gummies, particularly when you’re buying large quantities and do not have the weight of candy labeled on the package.
- Add the gummies, Tajin, and liquid chamoy to a ceramic bowl and mix it by hand. Certain brands of chamoy may stain plastic. Also, you should wear disposable gloves since it could also cause skin stains (and lighter-colored nail polish too).
- When your gummies are completely coated, line a baking sheet (or a half-sheet pan, shown here) with aluminum foil, then pour them on top. Spread them out so that they don’t overlap, and then sprinkle the rest of the Tajin on top of the gummies.
- They’ll look very wet for quite a while. When the moisture starts to turn more transparent or takes on a shiny, lacquered look, you’ll know they’re drying. That’s when they’re ready to eat. I recommend letting the gummies dry overnight. This way, the chamoy has enough time to fully absorb. Transfer the dried chamoy peach rings to a sealed plastic container for storage.
Certain brands of gummies leak slightly after being submerged in liquid and then dried. This is normal, particularly since they may become wet when stored in an airtight container. They’ll dry and then dry out again by taking the lid off; however, this could make them more chewy.
