On the food side of things, Cookyote is based on Coyotas de Sonora, which are large, flat cookies traditionally filled with brown sugar.

Canellote is a combination of "Canela," the Spanish word for Cinnamon, and "Coyote." Fun Fact, I intentionally added two L's because in Spanish, two L's is pronounced the same as "Y" But anyways, Canellote is based on the Mexican interpretation of the Chupacabra.
