What Makes an Alfajor So Special?

Have you ever bitten into a dessert that feels like a hug from the inside out? That’s exactly what happens when you try an alfajor, a sweet tradition loved across Latin America and one of our specialties at Naughty Bikkies.

A Bite of History

The alfajor has a long journey that begins in Spain, where the Moors introduced a sweet made with honey, almonds, and spices. When the Spanish brought their culinary traditions to the New World, the alfajor was transformed into something new and magical in South America. In Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, and beyond, bakers reimagined it as two soft cookies filled with sweet spreads, most famously, dulce de leche. From there, it became a beloved symbol of everyday joy, birthdays, and family gatherings.

Naughty Bikkies’ Chocolate Alfajores

At Naughty Bikkies, we stay true to tradition while adding our own delicious twist. Our alfajores are made with soft chocolate biscuits that sandwich rich fillings and are then coated in dark chocolate for the perfect balance. The flavours we craft are as indulgent as they are unique:

  • Classic Dulce de Leche

  • Dulce de Leche & Raspberry

  • Nutella Ganache

  • Peanut Butter Ganache

  • Mocha

  • Chocolate Orange

Each bite is an invitation to experience both nostalgia and discovery.

Why Sweets Matter in Latin America

In Latin American culture, sweets are more than just dessert, they’re a way to connect. Sharing an alfajor with coffee, bringing brownies to a family celebration, or gifting cake pops to friends isn’t just about taste; it’s about creating memories and showing affection. Desserts are woven into the rhythm of daily life, a way to slow down and celebrate small moments.

So, the next time you hold an alfajor in your hands, ask yourself: Is this just a biscuit, or is it a little piece of history, culture, and love all wrapped in chocolate?

At Naughty Bikkies, we’d say it’s all of the above.
