The long-treasured alfajores are a cherished memento of my visit to Argentina 🇦🇷! Alongside the fridge magnets I always collect, these delightful treats are a must-have! I absolutely adore these individually wrapped snacks; they offer a sensation that surpasses even the finest chocolate. These cookies are like little treasures, with a texture that’s reminiscent of caramel inside and a luscious coating.
After some research, I discovered that the main ingredients include flour, honey, almonds, hazelnuts, and the beloved dulce de leche. Interestingly, many people claim that these confections originated in Spain. In Argentina, you can find a wide array of flavors, but my absolute favorite is the one with the rich, creamy caramel milk sauce, or dulce de leche.
If you have a sweet tooth and love chocolate cookies and desserts, do yourself a favor and don’t miss out on these delectable treats [buying spree]!
I completely agree about the alfajores being top-notch! The combination of caramel-like filling and smooth coating is just heavenly. I wonder how they manage to keep that perfect balance in every bite. Definitely adding them to my travel bucket list!
