Havanna Alfajores and "Choco Pie" Chocolate Cream Sandwich

One of my favorite classic snacks by Lotte is "Choco Pie" Chocolate Cream Sandwich. There's cream between two soft sponge cake dipped in chocolate. It's sweeter than usual Japanese chocolate snacks. I've tried tried many kind of "Choco Pie" (like this one ) but I like the Japanese kind the best. How to describe this... ? It's like eating your favorite snacks in another country. Something is slightly different! (Have you tried Lay's potato chips? Cola cola? It tastes slightly different!) My little girl likes "Choco Pie" too. Yummy! Now, I also want to introduce a similar snack  Havanna Alfajores  from Argentina. This snack is the same concept and has caramel inside ("dolce de leche"). It is super duper sweet. I got this pictured alfajores from a colleague last year. Mini size is my favorite because I can never finish the regular size by myself. Make sure to eat with unsweetened black tea or coffee!
