benditos

Benditos, also known as "bendita" in singular, are a type of traditional Mexican candy made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and cornstarch. They are typically shaped into small, round, or oval pieces and come in a variety of colors, including white, pink, yellow, and green.

Benditos are a popular treat in Mexico and are often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. They are also commonly used as a filling in various Mexican pastries and confections. The candy's name is derived from the Spanish word "bendito," which means "blessed," reflecting the sweetness and indulgence associated with the treat.
