Fibisco Choco Mallows

Choco Mallows are described by its manufacturer Comfoods as “chocolate-covered marshmallow biscuits individually wrapped in aluminum foil.” Each piece is a chocolate-coated mallow on a cake.

Dried Mangoes

For decades, packaged dried mangoes from the Philippines, particularly those for export, have been dry and tough because of the addition of sugar and preservatives. The texture had become familiar and expected to regular eaters of this snack.

Recently though, the trend has been towards bringing to market “all-natural dried mangoes” which are moist and tenderly chewy.

Haluhalo
