I had never tasted an alfajor until I went to Monterrey, Mexico. A friend gave me a box of some. OMG were they good!! I fell in love. They were from a company called bits'nbites. Luckily I found their website bitsnbites.com.mx so I can get my fix :D

But I'm going to try this recipe for sure! That way I can have them whenever I want.

Que ricoooo!! After my trip to Chile I became completely addicted to the handmade alfajores I found at la Chocolatiere in the Vitacura area of Santiago. They had all sorts of delectable flavors such as orange, fig and nut, and amaretto, mixed into the manjar (dulce de leche) and then everything was covered in artisan chocolate. Of course I smuggled back a bag, which lasted me all of half the flight.

Hi Maria,
Thanks for comment. I was afraid to boil anything after my last failed attempt, but I may just try out your method. It doesn't sound hard at all,and it sounds like an authentic way of making dulce de leche. Thanks again!

For dulce de leche you can just boil the unopened tin of condensed milk in an ordinary pan or a pressure cooker, about half an hour for the pressure cooker and about an hour for an ordinary pan,after that you take it out and let it get cold before opening,here in Spain its how we do it, nice on toast or as a cake filling...
