Place 8 cinnamon candies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
Place the cinnamon dust on a small plate and stir in the salt. Run the lemon wedge around the edge of 8 shot glasses and dip them into the cinnamon-salt mixture.
In a cocktail shaker filled 1/2 way with ice, add the cinnamon schnapps and tequila. Shake well and pour into the prepared shot glasses. Top off with a dash of hot sauce and enjoy! Use the remaining cinnamon candies as a chaser.
