Behind the mix

2020 · SAN FERNANDO VALLEY

It started in a home kitchen.

During lockdown, the first batches went to friends and family. The team kept adjusting the mix until the order was right: sweet, sour, then chili.

The result was candy with a chili finish, not a heat challenge.

SAN FERNANDO VALLEY

This is home.

Chili Chews was built by people who grew up in the Valley eating sweet, sour, and spicy things together. That combination shaped the recipe.

TODAY

Sweet. Sour. Chili.

That sequence has not changed. Chili Chews is family owned and operated, made in Los Angeles, and produced in small batches.
