The snacks we munch on as children often leave an indelible mark on our memory. Just the mere thought of a favorite treat elicits fond memories and can transport us back, if even temporarily, to our childhood.

Danny Schwarz’s snack brand Chuza finds inspiration in the munchies he ate growing up in Monterrey, Mexico. The Chuza line of treats includes dried fruits like strawberry, pineapple, apricot, mango, and cranberry generously dusted with a salty, spicy, citrusy coating that results in a cacophony of bold flavor contrasts.
