Cuchuflí facts for kids
A cuchuflí (pronounced koo-choo-FLEE) is a super popular sweet treat found in Chile and Argentina. In Argentina, people often call them cubanitos.
Imagine a crispy, hollow tube, a bit like an ice cream cone but thinner. That's a cuchuflí! They are made from simple ingredients like sugar, egg whites, flour, butter, and vanilla.
What makes them extra special? Cuchuflíes are usually filled with dulce de leche, which is a sweet, thick caramel-like cream made from milk and sugar. Sometimes, you might find them with other yummy fillings too.
You can buy cuchuflíes almost everywhere! Look for them in supermarkets, small neighborhood shops, and bakeries. You'll also often see street vendors selling them, especially at beaches. Some cuchuflíes even come covered in delicious chocolate!
