atompitos

Atompitos are a type of traditional Mexican candy, originating from the state of Oaxaca. They are small, round, and hard candies, typically made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and flavorings. Atompitos are often flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, or other spices, and are known for their distinctive crunchy texture. They are typically sold in small bags or boxes, and are a popular snack in Mexico. Atompitos are also known as "churros de azúcar" or "churros dulces" in Spanish, which translates to "sweet churros." Despite their name, atompitos are not related to churros, which are a type of fried dough pastry. Atompitos are a popular treat for both children and adults in Mexico, and are often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. They are also a popular ingredient in some traditional Mexican dishes, such as mole.
