The 4.25oz theater-style box is slim and rectangular, designed to slide alongside a sandwich and drink without taking up much space.

The soft gummy texture holds up well next to an ice pack for a typical school day. The chewy consistency is actually part of why parents like it for lunch boxes, since kids tend to savor it longer than a hard candy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre Hot Tamales a good non-chocolate option for my child's classroom Halloween party?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely.
