Tejas (pronounced teh-has) are a popular dumpling-shaped confection from the Ica region of Peru. It contains manjar blanco filling (similar to dulce de leche) and either dry fruits or nuts. The exterior is usually a sugar-based fondant-like shell http://www.nutricionyrecetas.com/recetas/galletas/6668.htm, but there also exists chocolate versions too (known by the contraction chocotejas http://www.yanuq.com/buscador.asp?idreceta=1202).
