Arroz con leche is a favorite treat at my house. By letting the rice cool and get a bit sticky, you can create some tasty rice bites with your favorite fruit and sweet topping. Perfect for a spring picnic or outdoor family get-together, these dessert bites are visually appealing just as they are delicious and welcomed at any outdoor party.
