Introduction
Calle de los Dulces (Candy Street) in Puebla's historic centre is a short street devoted to the city's convent sweet-making tradition, right beside the Santa Clara church. Family-run shops line both sides, their windows stacked with camote (candied sweet-potato rolls), jamoncillo nut fudge, candied squash and brightly coloured crystallised fruit. Puebla's dessert repertoire traces back to colonial convent kitchens, and this is where those recipes are still sold over the counter.
