Theo & Philo Milk Chocolate with Pili Nut & Pinipig

It should be no surprise that glazed pili nuts and toasted pinipig are a match made in culinary heaven. After all, they have perfectly sweet and dense milk chocolate to bind them together.

Pili nuts are a smooth and soft nut from a pill tree. The Philippines is the only country to produce pili nuts for consumption. It has a pleasantly bitter and mildly nutty taste and is commonly eaten as a snack.

Pinipig are young grains of glutinous rice which have been pounded and flattened. It is then toasted to make the grains puff up. Similar to a rice crispy, it is often used as a dessert topping, eaten plain, or mixed in with sweet beverages.
