MEET SHANT AND VICKEN

The origins of Chili Chews began years before the first piece of candy was coated

in spice. What sounds like a children’s tale is far more complex than that. At just 4

years old, Shant and Vicken formed a lifelong bond over their love for food and

culture, enriched in their hometown of San Fernando Valley.
 

They always had a love affair with candy, however, this love triangle seemed to

be missing something HOT. No matter where they searched, they could not find

the perfect balance of sweet and spicy candy, forcing them to develop their own at home.

With extra time on their hands during the middle of a worldwide pandemic, Shant

and Vicken decided it was the perfect time to introduce the world to the joy of Chili Chews.

In just a few short years Chili Chews has sold millions of bags and re these two friends are well

on their way to making Chili Chews the go-to gourmet chili candy.
