Tamal de chocolate, Oaxaca. Was interesting, but not my fav type of tamal. What other style of sweet tamal is available, other than the elote one?

I’ve seen strawberry and piña, too.
I’ve seen strawberry tamales before but I haven’t seen a ton of sweet ones, I’m not sure I’d like a sweet tamale personally
Strawberry and pineapple are the most common I’ve seen but I’ve also seen Oreo tamales, ones with cajeta, with blackberries and cream cheese, Gansito snack cake tamales with a whole Gansito in the middle, also seen those with pieces of it in the masa. Let your imagination run wild. Novelty sweet tamales were popular in big cities.
Haha love the gansito one- I should try find if it’s available anywhere
