Lacasitos chocolate dragees

Lacasitos are small, colorful chocolate dragees produced by the Spanish confectionery company Chocolates Lacasa. Introduced in 1982, these bite-sized treats are coated with a thin, sweet layer of sugar and come in seven different colors: white, brown, red, blue, green, yellow, and orange. Each piece has a diameter of approximately 1 cm. The name 'Lacasitos' is derived from being the smallest product made by the company. Similar to M&M's and Smarties, Lacasitos are popular among both children and adults. The company has maintained the product's appeal by updating its design over the years, including the addition of letters, numbers, and internet symbols on the candies to engage younger audiences. Lacasitos are manufactured in Spain and are available in various packaging formats, including tubes, jars, and bulk bags. The product is gluten-free and may contain traces of peanuts, nuts, and soy. Nutritionally, each 100g serving provides 484 kcal, with 19.5g of fat, 70.2g of carbohydrates (69.5g of which are sugars), and 6g of protein. Chocolates Lacasa continues to produce and distribute Lacasitos, maintaining its status as a beloved confectionery in Spain and beyond.
