A few weeks ago, I visited Washington, D.C. for the 2011 Blogalicious conference, where I got to spend lots of time with my blog amigas from all over the country. My friend Tracy from Latinaish, who lives in the area and was also attending, found out before the conference that I was a huge fan of Kellogg's Choco Zucaritas (chocolate frosted flakes) and brought me a box as a gift! Now THAT is friendship. I took it all the way home to Chicago in my carry-on luggage so that the box wouldn't get squished in my checked baggage. I've been eating Choco Zucaritas in Mexico ever since I discovered them a few years ago and was always bummed out that I couldn't buy them in the U.S.—until now.
¡Gracias Tracy! I'm almost out, so I'm headed to the super this week to see if I can find a box here in Chicago.
- What foods do you love to buy in Mexico that you can't find in the U.S.? Tell me in the comments below!
Tracy says
My pleasure, amiga! I love to make people happy with such simple things. My store is still stocking the Zucaritas and I continue to buy them, (we're all addicted to them. LOL.) ... If you can't find any and need another fix, let me know 🙂
Abrazos! Miss you.

My kiddies don't like regular Zucaritas, because they think they're too sweet. But they LOVE Choco-Zucaritas! So glad you were able to find a little piece of Mexico in the U.S. I know how happy it makes me when I find Gringo foods in Mexico. 🙂

I forgot about those!! I had no idea you couldn't get them here! I used to love how they turn the milk into chocolate milk of course!
