Found these cute, little square boxes of cream filled biscuits, not at the supermarket but at my favorite convenience store - 7-Eleven. They're called Collon from popular Japanese snack brand, Glico. These are basically biscuit rolls filled with various soft cream flavor. Dalawa lang yung nakita kong flavors sa store - Chocolate and Strawberry. First of all, kagaya ng maraming Japanese snacks, they are incredibly easy to open and like I said, have cute print designs. The biscuits naman are bite-sized, cylindrical pieces that are tasty and crunchy. The Collon Chocolate has a soft and fluffy chocolate cream centre though I would like it to have a richer, fuller chocolate taste. But if you prefer a smooth, subtle, and perfectly sweet chocolate cream, you'll enjoy it. The Collon Strawberry has got to be my favorite as not only it has a stronger, delightful strawberry flavour, it also has a sweet and scented smell of soft strawberry cream. I could finish a box in one sitting! Glico Collon in Chocolate and Strawberry is available at 7-Eleven for P42.50 each.

We've tried most snacks from Alibaba, at sa totoo lang na-enjoy namin lahat since we're all big snack eaters. Lalo na yung anak ko as he would bring a pack as baon sa school, may mga naging favorites na talaga sya. So, here are our top 5 favorite snacks from this super affordable snack brand, Alibaba that you should also include on your next grocery shopping list! Alibaba Super Snack Mixed A delicious savory snack na may cornick, green peas, peanuts, and chips. It's not overly salted compared sa ibang snack mixes na na-try namin before. Aladdin Funtas Stick Peanut Butter These are oven-baked and crunchy golden-brown biscuits na may sweet and salty flavor. This peanut butter one is my son's favorite as it has a nice, subtle peanut butter taste. Alibaba Crunchy Corn Chips Barbecue Flavor A classic crunchy corn chips with just the right blend of barbeque seasoning. Alibaba Happy Bear Choco These are tasty bite-size crispy, soft shell biscuits with chocolate filling inside.

Maulan season is also a hot chocolate season. Tapos, I paired it with a baked bread roll with chocolate filling, plus may chocolate pudding pa on the side. I had these chocoholic's dream breakfast trio yesterday that definitely satisfied my sweet cravings. The hot chocolate I had was actually our traditional Filipino hot chocolate from Cacao Mistry - Strong Instant Cacao Drink. It's handcrafted from premium Philippine cacao, sweetened with little sugar, and nondairy creamer. It's rich and quite creamy. It also has a deep with more rustic profile of tablea. The bread was a store-bought baked bread roll with choco hazelnut filling na recently ko lang din nabili sa grocery store. It's the Crossini Choco Hazelnut. Perfect na siyang kainin as it is but to give it a bit of a crispy texture, I put it in the oven for a minute. Surprisingly, for the price, masarap yung hazelnut spread sa loob, it's sweet, na may pagka-nutty and chocolatey rin. Lastly, ang favorite chocolate dessert ko in the world - chocolate pudding na ready na kainin in as little as five minutes. It's the Jell-O Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix & Pie Filling. Super dali niya lang i-prepare, ihalo lang yung cold milk sa chocolate pudding mix, whisk, and allow to set lang ng ilang minuto. We actually love this pudding for a quick late night snack and as a simple dessert. It's thick and creamy, and has a classic milk chocolate flavor. You can get Crossini Choco Hazelnut (P96, 10pcs) and Jell-O Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix & Pie Filling (P109) in major supermarkets nationwide. You may visit cacaoculture.ph to know where to buy Cacao Mistry - Strong Instant Cacao Drink (P80, Single Serve).
Sino sa inyo ang pinapalaman ang instant noodles aka pancit canton sa mainit na pandesal? I grew up doing that and enjoy eating it mostly for almusal or kahit merienda. This inspired me to make this quick and easy recipe, but instead of pandesal, I used these extremely versatile and delicious bagels. I also added cheese and sunny-side up egg for that perfect instant noodle bagel sandwich! Ang maganda kasi with using frozen bagels like these ones from Bogels N.Y., once toasted it gives a warm and crispy brown outer crust and nice chewy center. Plus, the bagel itself has a satisfying flavor na. I served it to my family a couple of days ago, and super hit sya lalo na sa anak ko. He even requested, I make it for his baon to school. Bogels N.Y. is available in leading premium supermarkets or partner stores online.
I was binge-watching K-drama, Delightfully Deceitful during the wee hours when I got really hungry. Pagbukas ko ng snack cabinet namin, I spotted this pack of crackers from Europe that I got as pasalubong - Fazer Dark Rye Crisp Crackers which I figured I can put variety of toppings aka yung mga hindi ko na kailangang lutuin at super quick to make lang. I put a can of Spanish-style sardines to good use in this simple, tasty, and healthy snack recipe. I also added some of my favorite cracker toppings; cheese, onion, tomato, pickle relish, and mayonaise. Medyo messy kainin but it's flavorful and all the toppings go well with the crunchy structure and intensive taste of the cracker na may malty, toasty notes reminiscent of brown butter and brown sugar. I think I'll try to make sweet combinations next time. Share nyo na rin your favorite snacks for binge-watching.
I remember sa aking former office, we have a snack station where us workers can access when hungry. It has a selection of healthy and not-so-healthy snacks. From fruit bars, dry fruits, nuts, biscuits, crackers, chips, chips, and more chips. From that experience, I could say na having an office snack station made us employees feel like we were cared about, plus it also helped increase our work productivity. Pero, ngayon na I've been working from home, I definitely miss that perk of going into work especially that I'm a huge snacker talaga. This is why, I decided to turn a corner of my tiny WFH space into a snack station. I have some cookies, chips, crackers, and sweet treats. Since meron din akong thermos flask sa aking home office, , I also included some instant coffee mix packets and my favorite teas na mas madalas ko ng iniinom lately. What I do lang is I constantly wipe down the table where the snacks are on and make sure na nakasarang mabuti yung mga containers para iwas sa mga pests lalo na mga langgam. Share nyo na rin what snacks you have in your work station.
I'm sure tayong mga parents, aware tayo sa masasamang epekto ng screen addiction lalo na sa ating mga anak. It can be detrimental to our kid's total development, whether motor, speech, or even the social aspect. This is why, I set a technology timeout for my tween son. Usually, it's hours before dinner, he can't use his phone, iPad, or any device at home for one hour. We also made a list of activities that we can do together or things he wants to do during his tech timeout. From reading books, playing board games, or he is still very much into playing with his Lego. I think maraming beses ko ng nasabi how much my son loves his snacks, kaya naman naisipan ko ring gawan sya ng sarili niyang snack station para mas ma-enjoy niya talaga yung mga activities na ginagawa niya on his tech timeout. I included a lot of his favorite snacks like chips, cookies, trail mix, and pre-portioned packs of chocolate. Although syempre, may limit pa din yung dami ng snacks na pwede niyang kainin. Share nyo na rin mga ka-grocery moms how you limit your child's screen time.
If there is one quintessential Filipino pastry that I enjoy eating mapa-almusal man, merienda or even as dessert - that would be ensaymada. Sa ngayon, iba't ibang variations na ng ensaymada ang matitikman natin. From the most usual flavors like ube, caramel, and chocolate. Meron pa ngang mango and other fruit-flavored ones. Pero syempre, the best pa rin ang classic cheese ensaymada with lots of cheese on top. Just like these Vernon Pastries' Queso de Bola Ensaymada that we had yesterday for merienda. Not only they use real butter, they also grind their queso de bola with the rest of the cheese which gives their ensaymada a strongly flavored and finely textured powdered cheese topping. Dahil nga queso de bola or Edam cheese yung ginamit nila, I definitely got that sharp taste but it's soft, buttery, and delicious. Isa pang merienda treat that we tried from them were their Cheese Rolls that honestly is really addicting. Each roll is filled with a generous amount of cheese and I could tell that they didn't scrimp on the finest ingredients. They're remarkably soft, fluffy and cheesy, and has the perfect balance of buttery and sweetness. I also love that each ensaymada and cheese roll is wrapped neatly in the box so I can easily share them with my family and friends or I could even store them for several days. You may preorder before 6 PM any day, by 2 PM the next day, your Vernon Pastries' Queso de Bola Ensaymada (P450, Box of 6) and Vernon Pastries' Cheese Rolls (P300, Box of 6) will be ready for pickup or for delivery via Grab or Lalamove.

We are a family who loves to snack especially when we spend time together. From when we do our weekly family movie night or when I do arts & craft activities with my son. And recently, nahilig magbasa ng mga books about dinosaurs si bagets, so naging bonding na rin namin yung magbasa ng mga facts and other trivias about dinosaurs together while nibbling on some snack foods including these candies from Hi-Chew. Sa mga hindi familiar, Hi-Chew is one of the most well-known Japanese candy brands, plus they have the number one soft candy in Japan as well. Their candies have unique, soft, double layer that give burst of real fruit flavor. Sobrang nakaka-enjoy silang kainin. Bukod sa chewy and almost bouncy texture, these candies are both fruity, with authentic fruit flavors na hindi overly sweet. They come in rectangular single-flavor packs and the candies are individually wrapped which I like kasi minsan naglalagay ako ng ilang piraso sa bag ko when I go out.
