Pinoy Choc-Nut

Do you still remember eating Choc-Nut? If the USA has its Baby Ruth, Australia has its Tim Tam, while the Philippines.... well, it has its Choc-nut. It's not sealed in colorful foil wrappers or as expensive as most commercial chocolate candies, but its selling like hotcakes in the Philippines.

I finally had my Pinoy choc-nut which is one of my favorites that I always eat in the Philippines. We bought it at Asian Store in Louisville, Kentucky last April when we had to go there to buy some Philippine products. I miss the foods from the Philippines, you know! I came to finally saw it in the store and bought 2 packs of choc-nut. As you all know, this is Kris Aquino's favorite milk chocolate too.
Choc-nut is a small block of chocolate (think of a thinner and slightly longer version of Bazooka Joe's bubblegum) made from peanuts, cane sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and artificial flavoring, wrapped in recycled paper. Most people, especially foreigners, compare it to USA's Reese's Pieces peanut butter cups only that Choc-nut is much cheaper.

Another unique feature about Choc-nuts that makes it even better is the challenge they impose upon the consumer. Most of the time, it crumbles or breaks into three small pieces when you grab it which makes it harder to eat. My husband loved it too and we finished 2 packs of choc-nut chocolate candies just few days ago.
