Del Real Foods Debuts Abuela-Approved Churro Caramel Tamales — A Sweet Twist on Tradition

JURUPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (July 21, 2025) — Del Real Foods, a leader in authentic Hispanic fresh foods, is expanding its tamales line with its newest innovation: Churro Caramel Tamales. This limited-edition offering puts a sweet spin on a beloved classic — combining the rich, comforting tradition of tamales with the nostalgic flavors of a churro. Now available in more than 500 Sam’s Club locations nationwide through October 13, the 10-pack of tamale treats feature soft cinnamon-sugar-infused masa and are filled with a rich dulce de leche caramel center. Perfectly portioned as a small sweet treat, they offer just the right amount of indulgence as a snack or dessert. To purchase, please visit Sam’s Club. 

“Sweet tamales have long been a part of traditional Hispanic cuisine, and we’re excited to introduce those nostalgic flavors to consumers across the country,” said Daniela Simpson, CMO of Del Real Foods. “We’re proud to be among the first to bring sweet Hispanic dessert tamales to the national club market. By combining the sweetness of a churro with the familiar texture of a tamale and a rich caramel filling, we’ve created a unique Abuela-approved treat that’s indulgent, authentic, and makes you feel at home with every bite.”

Gluten-free and ready-to-eat in just one minute, the Churro Caramel Tamales can be enjoyed warm on their own, paired with a cold glass of milk, or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. Perfect for family gatherings or as a solo indulgence, these tamales offer a fall-ready twist on a beloved Hispanic classic.

This launch continues the momentum of Del Real Foods’ Abuela Intelligence Campaign, which celebrates the culinary wisdom and traditions passed down through generations. By infusing classic recipes with a modern twist, Del Real Foods continues to deliver bold, authentic flavors while keeping the spirit of tradition alive.
