Arequipe from Colombia

One of my wonderful suitemates brought back a lil' treat from Colombia. I didn't know what "Arequipe" was, but she said it was a sweet dessert.

Isn't it cute???

Turns out, Arequipe is caramel. I "googled" arequipe and found out that the term for "caramel" in Colombia is "arequipe," but it's also known as "dulce de leche" in other Spanish-speaking countries.
