Are these conitos better than Havanettes? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once upon a time, conitos<\/em> – or as we then knew them, Havannets<\/a> – were my favorite treat. These are small cone-shaped sweet with a thin cookie base, and dulce de leche<\/em> coated with chocolate. If you like dulce de leche, you’ll like them.

While for decades, conitos were the exclusive province of Havanna<\/a> and maybe Balcarce<\/a> – the two posh brands of alfajores<\/a><\/em> Argentina had -, as new brands of gourmet alfajores exploded in the 90’s, so did conitos. They are now available from a large variety of brands, at least in Argentina.

Guolis<\/a><\/strong> is one of the brands having a moment right now. My cousin Adriana brought me a box of them when we saw her in Washington DC<\/a>. She told us they had become popular as they are overstuffed with dulce de leche.

Indeed, they are, but otherwise they didn’t seem very different to me than Havannets. I don’t think I could tell them apart in a blind taste. They were very good and I enjoyed them, but not more or less than an Havannets. I’d buy them if they were available for sale – as long as they cost the same or less than Havannets.

By the way, I buy my Argentine treats through Pampa Direct<\/a> (this is a referral code that if used will give both of us a $5 off coupon). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
