Goldilocks Polvoron

Polvoron is a dairy-based Filipino dessert. It is basically made from sugar, milk powder and some extenders. Goldilocks, the same bakery that created those tasty macaroons, reinvented this classic Filipino delicacy and created flavored versions. Some of the flavors are simple like peanut and chocolate while some are more unique like coffee, cookies and cream and choco-peanut. What makes the flavors intense is that the bakery uses real ingredients in the product. The choco polvoron has chunks of chocolate chip, the coffee variety has coffee bits (although I'm not sure if they are actual coffee beans or not), and the cookies and cream has, well, cookie crumbs. These flavors give the classic polvoron a new look and taste. It's a great innovation that can revitalize the Filipino's interest in their traditional snack.
