(250615) -- MONTEVIDEO, June 15, 2025 (Xinhua) -- A visitor tries to make a fruit snack with chocolate during the International Alfajor Fair in Montevideo, Uruguay, June 13, 2025.

The International Alfajor Fair kicked off on Friday at the Technological Laboratory of Uruguay (LATU) in the capital Montevideo and will run until June 15.

Alfajor, a popular Latin American sweet, typically consists of a layer of dulce de leche (caramelized milk spread) sandwiched between two cookies and is coated in chocolate for a crumbly texture. It has developed distinct local variations and is especially beloved in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru and Chile. (Photo by Nicolas Celaya/Xinhua)
