Tecolote Confectionary

A candy with New Mexico roots.

Tecolote Confectionary was founded in Las Cruces by Rebecca Lescombes after more than a decade of making New Mexico Caramel Fours for family. The recipe was originally developed in Roswell, New Mexico, and today Tecolote is bringing this distinctive regional confection to a wider audience.

“I want the New Mexico Caramel Four to become a candy people immediately associate with New Mexico.”
From family recipe to New Mexico favorite

Made with history. Made to be shared.

For years, Rebecca made these confections for family—combining pecans, caramel, chocolate and just enough sea salt to create something rich but never overly sweet.

When she struck out on her own, she decided it was time to bring this New Mexico creation to the forefront and build a confectionary around it.

The mission is simple: make the New Mexico Caramel Four a true state candy— something visitors take home, locals give proudly, and people remember long after the box is empty.
