To burn it off
An alfajor is two soft biscuits stuck together with dulce de leche, often dipped in chocolate. In Argentina and Uruguay every kiosk sells them, and the cornstarch ones, alfajores de maicena, have coconut rolled round the edge.
One is 230 kcal, with 32 g of carbs, 10 g of fat and 3 g of protein. The dulce de leche and the coating are most of the sugar.
Triple alfajores have three biscuits and two layers of filling. Count those as more.
Tips
- 1Pick a single alfajor, not the triple.
- 2Have it as the afternoon snack with a coffee or a mate.
- 3Keep the box out of sight, they're easy to eat without noticing.
