Classic Filipino Chocolate Snacks We Love

These are the iconic chocolate snacks that define our childhood and have delighted generations past. Our palates may have matured and evolved, but just a bite of these nostalgic favorites is enough to revive the sweetest of memories.

Classic Filipino Chocolate Snacks We Love

Nips

These colorful candy-coated chocolates have been around since the 60’s and are now made by Universal Robina Corporation. Nips also comes in chocolate bars with the candy-coated chocolates embedded in them.

They just released a dark chocolate variant for those looking for a more intense choco flavor.

Choco Mallows

Fibisco’s Choco Mallows has three layers: a vanilla biscuit, airy marshmallow, and then coated in chocolate. This was a sought-after lunchbox filler and it was so popular in the lunchroom we used these treats as currency.

Choco Mallows now also comes in packs of two for easy snacking.

Serg’s

Conceived in 1954 by Anton Goquilay and named after his son, Sergio, the candy bar was the era’s bestselling chocolate until the 1980s with its unique, powdered-milk taste.

After leaving the market for a few decades, there are whispers that a comeback is imminent. Stay tuned.

Flat Tops and Curly Tops

Flat Tops and Curly Tops are two distinctly different chocolate products produced by Ricoa, the longest-running chocolate company in the Philippines.

Curly Tops may have lost its unmistakable swirl when they switched from handmade to machine-produced making it look exactly like Flat Tops, but the company swears that it uses the same unique recipes of both from the 1960s.

Gold Coins

Produced by Goya, the smooth, creamy milk chocolate discs are wrapped in gold foil and embossed with the picture of a caboose on one side.

There are many different brands that produce these chocolate coins now, but 80s and 90s kids know the real deal with just one bite.

Cloud 9

Another classic from URC, it’s a bite-sized chocolate bar with caramel, nougat, and peanuts that provide this thrifty treat with its addicting texture.

These are sold in packs of six or available individually in convenience stores for a quick midday pick-me-up.

Coco Pretzels

Repackaged, but promising the same, classic taste of pretzel sticks covered in chocolate with that kick of salt that enhances the rich chocolate-y flavor.
