What is chupeta?

Chupeta is a sweet, Colombian treat that is similar to a lollipop or hard candy. It is made from panela, a type of unrefined sugar that is common in Latin American cuisine. Chupetas come in a variety of flavors, such as fruit, chocolate, or caramel, and are often brightly colored and shaped like animals or other fun shapes.

Chupetas are popular among children in Colombia and are often sold at street markets, candy stores, and festivals. They are a fun and tasty treat that is enjoyed by people of all ages. In some regions of Colombia, chupetas are also known as "chupetines" or "paletas de caramelo".
