Arequipe is a gooey caramel spread that has a different consistency than peanut butter. The taste is sugary, sweet, and delicious. I purchased the tiny little containers of arequipe because the size makes it more convenient to use. If you buy larger containers, you run the risk of having the product dry out and get hard. This way, you use what you need and it retains its fresh spreadable consistency.I'm sure you could use this spread on a variety of foods, but I love arequipe to add to obleas, which are very large, thin wafers. I grew up having my Colombian grandmother and my mother prepare handfuls of these for us. You add a thick, generous layer of arequipe to one oblea and then add a plain wafer on top. The result is a tasty oblea sandwich!
