So, let me tell you something about this little glorious concoction, otherwise known as De La Rosa Mazapan.
So what is it? It's a small disk that's made of sugar, peanuts, and artificial flavors. That's about it.
It's pretty simple, yet responsible for making our childhoods just a little bit better.
The thing about this candy is that it's very crumbly. It breaks apart at the slightest touch and often causes quite a mess.
Seriously...it's an issue.
And whenever you did actually manage to unwrap the Mazapan without a single crack, it would warrant a celebration.
But once you dropped a piece in your mouth, ALL WAS GOOD!
And the Mazapan would slowly melt, and your taste buds would experience a wonderful explosion of sugar and peanuts that would coat the inside of your mouth.
As a kid, the Mazapan was something you found in your colación during Christmastime.
And it was something you fought for at your cousin's 10th birthday party.
How do you make a cake better? Add some Mazapan to it.
How do you make a latte better? Add some Mazapan to it.
And if you're down for something a little chocolaty, just get a chocolate-covered Mazapan.
