Choc Nut

Among the guilty pleasures we usually enjoy is a simple sweet that's quite popular here and to many Filipinos abroad. Choc Nut is a blend of peanuts and milk chocolate that has been a staple to many sweet tooths like me. Recently, it has had a repackaging of sorts with the foil that used to be its main wrapping now integrated to the paper label. Previously, these were separate and one had to slide the foil covered treat from the paper wrapper and then unwrap the Choc Nut for eating. Now its simpler with just one wrapper. But it doesn't really matter considering that you'd probably do away with the wrapper quite quickly to enjoy the treat.

One of the more recognizable brands in the Philippines, Choc Nut already has many competitors including those that have imitated its label. Regardless, Choc Nut still leads the pack and one will notice the difference immediately with the others.

Guaranteed to be addictive for those not allergic to nuts

Choc Nut used to have two sizes with the smaller ones being those I was introduced to when we were children. The larger ones came out in the late 1980's, I think, or the early 1990's. The makers probably noticed they had a market for larger servings (or pieces) of the treat. Now they only have one size, which is somewhere between the two sizes of old, and the pack seems smaller now than before. We often bring Choc Nut as pasalubong when we go abroad as our friends also have a longing for this as it is not available abroad , except maybe in some Filipino stores where it's probably expensive.
