While in Colombia I came across these arequipe brownies at the insistence of my family. Since I’m a full on chocoholic, I rarely stray from the usual chocolate treats; so it’s sometimes hard to make me try something different in this department. However, I’m glad I listened when my cousin Joe pushed me into trying Colombia’s delicious arequipe brownies. Arequipe is a thick and sweet milk-based spread, that is similar to caramel; so when you pair it with brownies it’s an unbelievable combination! You can find them in most supermarkets and food stores. The ones in this photo are from “La Baguette” in Barranquilla, and these were the best I tasted during my trip.
