Dulce de Leche in Uruguay
Mahalo Chicos,
Dulce de leche is a common dessert for the locals of Uruguay. The candy bars above is something I picked up at a local ’supermercado’. There are four tablets in all, they use whole milk and brown sugar to create this creamy rich candy.
The name on the wrapper is called Vaquita Lapatia its cost about 38 pesos which right now the North American dollar equals to about 20 pesos. So as of now its rather inexpensive.
This is something that my other half and I many include in care packages to our friends and families abroad. Its best if they had something that is traditionally made in Uruguay, so this would be a nice small gift.
If you are thinking of a gift for your families or friends, maybe you can take a look at this candy bar and see what you think.
Ciao,
Odeliza Jacoba
