12. Cucurucho
Another sweet Cuban treat is cucurucho, a delicacy that originates in the Baracoa province near the eastern tip of the country. Cucurucho is made with coconut flakes combined with coconut water and cooked into a sweet paste. Additional flavors can be added, such as nuts, fruit, and honey. The paste is tied into a cone made of palm leaves, and these little packages are hawked by street vendors in towns everywhere.
