Alfajor de Chocolate Blanco
Argentina's Alfajores are some of the best in the world 🌎. These are no different. Indulge in these delicious milk caramel filled sandwich cookies covered in yummy white chocolate.
Did you know Alfajor has it's roots in the middle east? When the Iberian Peninsula was under the Al-Andalus period, this tasty treat was adopted. It then spread to Latin America by the Spanish and Portuguese.
Alfajor Clasico
Imagine pillowy alfajor clouds ☁️ cradling a sunshine swirl of dulce de leche , so good it'll make your eyes do the happy dance . One bite and you'll be saying "adios" to ordinary treats - these are pure, chewy, can't-stop-won't-stop deliciousness with a chocolate cover!
Alfajor de Chocolate Negro
If white chocolate isn't you thing, here we have some of the dark chocolate variety. I couldn't decide which is better so I ate both at the same time. 🤪
Bon O Bon Barra
This is a crunchy crunchy bar ("Barra") made with cereal and caramel - covered in delicious chocolate. I'm not sure if the flavor or little heart on the wrapper but I'm in love with these 😍
Bizcocho Salado
Let's switch it up a bit and jump into savory town. These salty crackers have been a staple of Argentinian's culinary culture for over 50 years! They pair perfectly with Yerba Mate, a delicious tea with it's origins in Latin America that has recently grown in popularity. Don't fret if you don't have some though, any nice tea will work 🍵
Did you know more than 60% of Yerba Mate comes from Argentina?
Bon O Bon Choco-Fresa
Story time: Bon Bon's brand was one of the brands that created the "Semana de la Dulzara" in Argentina. It is a week in the summer where you share a snack for a kiss! All you need to do is say "Un Bon o Bon por un beso" (A Bon o Bon for a kiss). We aren't in Argentina, but it might be worth a try 🫣 Even if it doesn't work, you'll be left with a delicious wafer with strawberry and chocolate flavors! It's a win-win if you ask me!
Cereal Fort Lady
I am not sure if building a fort out of white chocolate cereal bars will keep out your enemies, but it's definitively worth a tasty try! 🗡️
Corazoncitos Dorin's - Limón
These corazoncitos (hearts ❤️) are lemon flavored and are a tasty snack to share. Don't worry, I promise they won't sour the mood.
Dos Corazones
Before you jump into devouring this tasty milk chocolate snack, know that it comes with a little love poem/phrase! Share with a loved one, or keep all to yourself (like me 😈). As you may imagine, these snacks are very popular on Valentine's Day!
Flow Cereal - Frutas Del Bosque
Let's switch gears and try an Argentinian granola bar! This bar comes with almonds, sunflower seeds and bits of strawberry 🍓, raspberry and cherry 🍒. Warning: You may have a sudden urge to ditch your Nature Valley Granola bars after trying these
Flyn Paff
Don't count this little guy out. These apple 🍎🍏 flavored chewies pack a flavor punch!
Mantecol
This is a very unique bar made of pasta, but not the pasta you are thinking of, but rather peanut based pasta 🥜 It is also flavored with some delicious cacao! This is staple in Argentina.
Mint Chocolate
The name says it all! A hard candy with mint 🍵 and chocolate 🍫 flavors - no matter the country, these two flavors can't keep their hands from each other!
Opera
These little orange flavored wafers have been around since 1905 (though mine only lasted a few minutes)! With that comes a lot of history! Originally named "Obleas Bagley", they were renamed to Opera in homage to the opening of the now world famous TeatroColón opera house in 1908 🎶
Palitos De Selva
These chewie vanilla candies have a little more than meets the eye. Each comes with a little drawing of an animal and tells you all about it. It also comes with a little riddle for those looking to show off their Duolingo skills! Let us know if you solved it!
Paraguitas
Unfortunately this Paraguitas (umbrella) was a bit too small for the rain, but the cacao flavor was a great consolation prize while getting drenched 💧 Note to self: Buy a bigger umbrella...
Rhodesia
This lime flavored biscuit named after the creator, Edelmiro Carlos Rhodesia and in honor of his daughter Melba
Saladix Horneados
Have you ever tried cheese pizza flavored cookies? Well now you have! 🍕
Surtido Diversion
If you like variety (which I know you do!), you're going to love these! These come with chocolate chip cookie, vanilla cookies, strawberry flavored cookies and much more! Get you milk out for the perfect paring 🥛
