Cajeta is an essential ingredient that has created Mexico's most delectable and memorable candies, sweets that have been a part of our memories since childhood. Cajeta also known as dulce de leche is one of those memorable treats, it is a thick sweetened syrup made from caramelized goat or cow milk. This sweet concoction was born in Mexico during the 1800s in Celaya Guanajuato, the state where the independence of Mexico started Father Miguel Hidalgo's famous grito de Dolores. Cajeta was an important element and food during the independence war, since it was easily transported; stored and lasted several months without spoiling, for that reason it become an important complement to the diet of the poorly fed soldiers. Today cajeta is used in a variety of desserts and Mexican candy favorites such as wafers, chewy caramels and cookies. There are other traditional favorites that don't have milk caramel as a main ingredient but are equally as good, such as candy skulls which is an important symbol that represents the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) a holiday in Mexico that originates from the ancient Aztecs. The skulls are made with different ingredients and flavors, the most common being chocolate and sugar. They are made to honor loved ones who have passed away and their names are inscribed onto the foreheads of the candy skulls. They are commonly placed on altars or tombstones dedicated to those who have passed on.
