Anyone know the name of this mexican candy?!
Answers: I had a friend in highschool who was from Mexico. Every summer they traveled to Mexico to visit family and they would bring me back some candy. My favorite were these round "patties" that were caramel made with goat's milk. They had a thin layer of a very fine white wafer over the top that looked like paper and came stacked in a package. Does anyone know the name of that candy and where I can find it? We have several hispanic grocery stores in Nashville but I'd rather know the name of the product so I can call them first to see if they carry it before randomly going to all these stores on a wild goose chase and I don't want to call and describe it to them because there will be a bit of a language barrier trying to discuss this over the phone. It would be better if I already knew the name of the candy before calling. Thanks!
I have it on the tip of my tongue because I recently bought then hold on I'll get it, got it the name of them are Obleas I love them too
Could be "dulce de leche" (sweet milk) or "jamoncillo".
GOT IT !!!- See below
Obleas con cajeta
"oblea" is the thin wafer (practically the same used in catholic churches for communion).
"cajeta" is the milk caramel, which can also be purchased in bottles, like honey or syrup.
I have seen the brand "Coronada" or "Coronado" for these candies. "Coronado" is a popular cajeta maker, so they probably make the obleas too.
Note: I recall calling these candies "morelianas", but I am not sure if everyone would understand too. Obleas con cajeta is a safe bet.
Good luck!
