A warm, sweet-and-savory Colombian favorite made with our Premium Chócolo Arepa, butter, and crumbled cheese.
🫓 How to Cook Your Chócolo Arepa
- Preheat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
- Place the frozen arepa directly in the pan. No need to thaw.
- Cook for 6–8 minutes on the first side, until golden.
- Flip and cook for another 5–7 minutes, until heated through.
- Transfer to a plate and serve warm.
💡 Cooking tip: Chócolo is naturally sweet. Keep the heat at medium-low so the center warms without browning the outside too quickly.
