Dulce de Leche

Spanish iBlock students participate in a "Food Day Friday" each week where we explore different cultural foods. This week we tried Dulce de Leche, a popular Latin American sweet that is often compared to caramel. Dulce de Leche is easy to make as you can simple take cans of sweetened condensed milk and cook them (yes, the whole, unopened can!) in a crockpot filled with water on low for about 8 hours. When you open the can, the milk has cooked into a deliciously sweet treat that goes well with ice cream, makes a yummy dip for pretzels, or even as a dipping sauce for churros!
