This Besos Pan Dulce recipe is sponsored by Imperial Sugar. Thank you for supporting the brands I love that make this website possible.

Are you missing walking comfortably through the panaderia? Oogling those glass cases of delicious pan dulce, zeroing in on a piece that is just for you? You test the tongs by snapping them together “clack-clack!” They work!

Will you go for the chocolate concha this time? The marranito? The mantecada? Since it’s a bit difficult to stop and enjoy the pan dulce during this time, why not make it at home?

I made “besos” for my family last week and they were a hit. This pastry is named for “kissing” two pieces of sweet bread, sealing them with a layer of strawberry preserves and coating them with sugar or finely shredded coconut. They were the perfect treat to enjoy with a hot cup of coffee. Just like at the Mexican coffee shop we frequented a few months ago.
