Two New Reasons to Visit Cruz Bakery Milk Cream 7 oz and Peanut Bar 2.5 oz

The Cuban candy case just grew sweeter. This spring we introduce a new product line inspired by street-corner confiterías from Havana to Matanzas. Leading the lineup are two childhood favorites reimagined for 2025, Milk Cream 7 oz and Peanut Bar 2.5 oz. Silky or crunchy, white or golden, each bar carries the taste of afternoons spent trading sweets outside school gates. H2: The Story Behind the New Line

Our catalog already offers fifty pastries, yet customers kept asking for the grab-and-go candies they remembered from abuela’s purse. Chef Alexey spent six months refining small-batch recipes until texture, flavor, and shelf life reached bakery standards. The result is a pair of bars that travel well, fit lunch boxes, and satisfy dessert cravings without a fork.

Milk Cream 7 oz, Velvet in a Wrapper

Origins and profile

Milk Cream, known in Cuba as “crema de leche”, blends fresh cow’s milk with cane sugar, vanilla, and a whisper of citrus. Slowly reduced in a copper kettle, the mixture turns ivory and glossy, then sets into a firm yet sliceable block.

• Weight: 7 oz (198 g) makes six generous bites

• Texture: Fudge meets flan, smooth with micro-crystals that melt on the tongue

• Flavor: Caramelized milk, light vanilla, gentle citrus finish
  

Ingredient integrity

Only four core ingredients enter the pot: local whole milk, non-GMO cane sugar, Madagascar vanilla, and Florida Key lime zest. No stabilizers, no artificial whiteners.

Serving ideas

• Pair cubes with espresso for a 3 pm energy lift.

• Chop and fold into vanilla ice cream for instant dulce swirl.

• Serve thin slices on a cheese board beside salty manchego.
  

Peanut Bar 2.5 oz, Crunch with Purpose

A beloved street snack

Walk any Cuban market and you hear the snap of “turrón de maní.” Our version layers roasted peanuts in a fast-cooked panela syrup, pressed into tablets that shatter cleanly.

• Weight: 2.5 oz (70 g), perfect pocket size

• Texture: Crisp brittle that yields after one bite, not a tooth-breaker

• Flavor: Deep peanut roast, toasted sugar, hint of sea salt
  

Nutrition at a glance

Seven grams of plant protein per bar, moderate sugar, zero artificial colors. Gluten free by nature, produced on dedicated equipment to prevent cross contact with wheat products.

Ways to enjoy

• Crush over Greek yogurt for breakfast crunch.

• Dip half the bar in dark chocolate for a DIY candy upgrade.

• Crumble into brownie batter for a peanut swirl effect.
  

Sustainability and Packaging

Both bars arrive in recyclable paper sleeves printed with soy inks. The artwork features vintage Cuban tile motifs in guava pink for Milk Cream and café brown for Peanut Bar, echoing our new website palette. Inside, a thin compostable film keeps moisture out without petroleum plastics.
