2. Churros Con Dulce de Leche| The Bee
Churros have been compared to donuts for having the same dough-like consistency and method of preparation – deep frying.

Dulce de leche is unlike the caramel sauce you get from the bottle and it’s a flavor you will never forget. These sweet treats come highly recommended by our resident sweet-tooth in our editorial office.
