Chocolate polvoron

December 16, 2005 
Filed under Desserts, Filipino food

It’s my daughters’ Christmas party in school today. Potluck style. My 13-year-old was smart. She volunteered to being the juice. All we need to do was buy about half a dozen boxes of juice in pouches. But my 11-year-old had been regaling her classmates with stories of home made polvoron for months. She didn’t mind helping out in the kitchen to make them.

chocolate polvoron chocoloate polvoron for my daughters\' class party in school

Because it’s easier to wrap the polvoron after they have been chilled (minimizes crumbling), we made the polvoron last night, stored them in an airtight freezer container and wrapped them early this morning. My daughter was already halfway through the sifting of the dry ingredients last night when I suggested dividing the mixture into two portions and adding to cocoa to one. Variety would be nice and chocolate polvoron–especially for kids–sounded like a grand idea.

Chocolate polvoron is still the same basic polvoron except for the addition of cocoa powder.

Ingredients :

2 c. of all-purpose flour
2 c. of powdered full cream milk
1 c. of white sugar
4 tsps. of coco powder
3/4 c. of melted butter
a pinch of salt
24-30 pieces of 5″x5″ pieces of cellophane paper

Cooking procedure :

In a small sauce pan or skillet, toast the flour over medium-low heat. Stir continuously to avoid burning. When the color of the flour turns beige, turn off the heat. Cool the flour for 10 minutes then sift it, with the pinch of salt, into a large mixing bowl. Sift the sugar and milk together in another mixing bowl. Combine all the sifted ingredients and stir well. Or, you can sift them all together. Pour in the melted butter. Mix well.

Fill the mould with the mixture. Press the mixture into the mould well using the back of a spoon. Release the polvoron and stack them in an airtight freezer container. Chill (we prefer to freeze) for a few hours or until firm.

Wrap in pieces of cellophane paper.

    I made cheese and graham polvoron using your previous polvoron recipe (I’ve been offline for three weeks so I didn’t see this one till after Christmas), and they were scrumptious! Much thanks for the excellent recipe =)

    Is it okay if I post my variation on my blog? I will link to your original recipe, then add the variations I made and post the pics my sis took, if that’s okay.

    Btw, my sis bought chocolate polvoron from an officemate–aside from the cocoa powder, they were also coated in chocolate. Total chocoholic heaven *_*

  2. Connie on Thu, 29th Dec 2005 2:17 am 

    “Is it okay if I post my variation on my blog?”

    Of course! That’s your recipe. And so that So we can all try your version. Gosh, my kids love cheese and grahams. Can’t wait. :-P

  3. Chevee on Thu, 29th Dec 2005 12:04 pm 

    Thanks! I posted it already =) I might try using bigger molds next time though…because eeny-weeny polvoron is a pain to wrap, hehe XD

  4. Connie on Thu, 29th Dec 2005 5:31 pm 

    Yo, Chevee, that’s right. The small ones can give you finger cramps hehehe

  5. Cherleen on Sat, 31st Dec 2005 4:02 pm 

    Hello Sassy!

    I have always wanted to make polvorons, but I cannot find a good molder. Where do you suggest I can purchase it? Any brand?

    Thanks.

  6. Connie on Sat, 31st Dec 2005 4:25 pm 

    Cherleen, most supermarkets sell them. I don’t think they come in brands. Just generic polvoron moulds. :)

  7. Dot on Sat, 14th Jan 2006 11:34 pm 

    I love, love polvoron! What kind of mold do you use and where can I find one?

    Love your website! Thank you for all the hard work you do to maintain it.

  8. Dot on Sat, 14th Jan 2006 11:36 pm 

    :oops: Ooops, I didn’t see the question above mine. Sorry about that. I don’t think I have ever seen any polvoron molds here in Alabama or Georgia. I looked for them at the asian markets but no luck.

  9. Connie on Sun, 15th Jan 2006 12:00 am 

    Thanks ok, Dot. :) Anyway, maybe they’re only sold in the Philippines? Perhaps polvoron isn’t made anywhere else?

  10. Chevee on Fri, 20th Jan 2006 12:23 pm 

    Probably. I’ve never seen ‘foreign’ versions of polvoron. Maybe because it’s just too labor-intensive :lol:

  11. delius on Fri, 10th Feb 2006 7:27 pm 

    HI dot, here’s a cool moulder for your polvoron. In the shape of a walnut. Just put a spoonful of polvoron in your palm, and press hard. WA La! It’s a walnut shaped polvoron!

  12. cris on Sun, 12th Feb 2006 9:27 am 

    Helo, I plan to teach kids how to make pulvoron, but im not sure on how to cook the flour. Ive read recipes online and they dont say much on how to cook the flour in the pan. Can someone elaborate if i should add anything else aside from the flour? do i include the sugar and milk into the pan and how long should i heat the flour?

    thanks,
    Cris

  13. Connie on Sun, 12th Feb 2006 12:08 pm 

    Just the flour, Cris. When it turns a little brownish, it’s done.

  14. karen on Mon, 20th Feb 2006 3:18 pm 

    i did not know you were supposed to chill the mixture to avoid crumbling. that just solved my wrapping woes. thanks :)

  15. Lenor on Wed, 22nd Mar 2006 9:47 am 

    wow! ive been making polvorons for onths now, but crumbling was really my problem..

    thanks for the tip of chilling the mixture before moulding. Ill try it.
    can’t wait to make another batch!!

  16. Mommyogie on Thu, 23rd Mar 2006 1:44 pm 

    Hi, sorry to sound ignorant, but when you say melted butter. Melted to soft and gooey or melted to liquid state? Thanks in advance!

  17. Connie on Fri, 24th Mar 2006 5:06 pm 

    you’re welcome, karen and lenor. :)

    Liquid, mommyyogie, BUT before the cream separates from the oil. :)

  18. Liza on Wed, 3rd May 2006 8:42 am 

    Do you know where I can find the Polvoron Mold. I live in Utah and can’t find it here is there a website I can order it from?

  19. Connie on Tue, 16th May 2006 3:02 pm 

    Sorry, Liza, maybe one the readers can help you out.

  20. K'sMom on Sat, 1st Jul 2006 12:54 am 

    Liza,

    Here’s the website where you can get the Polvoron Mold in the U.S.

    http://www.tatakpilipino.com/item.php?sku=W-5

    Have fun!

  21. Jennifer on Sun, 16th Jul 2006 10:22 am 

    I’ve got a great mold idea…use a non-stick mini muffin pan! much quicker (makes 12 at a time) than a real polvoron mold I would think :-) I fill mine with mixture then pat down hard with my fingers/heel of my hand then flip onto a cookie sheet. If you want an absolute flat bottom, I suppose you can use a juice bottle lid or something. A hard tap on the back will help to drop the polvoron. Hope this helps :-)))

    I made 3 flavors tonight: chocolate, vanilla… and my favorite MATCHA (japanese green tea) yum

  22. angelus on Fri, 29th Sep 2006 12:32 pm 

    hi! i’ve been trying to make a chocolate coated polvoron but for some reason the melted chocolate separates from the polvoron.:oops:
    can you please tell me what should i do? i really love the coated recipe and its a bit frustrating coz i’ve tried it several times na pero mali pa rin. :cry: thanks!

  23. armina on Thu, 2nd Nov 2006 1:40 pm 

    Thanks for the recipe Connie! I’ve tried your recipe and it was good.. I tried to modified it and taste even better… :-)

    I added 1 cup of toasted grated peanuts, 1/4 cup more butter, no salt, replaced the half of the sugar with refined sugar and more coco powder :D

  24. Connie on Thu, 2nd Nov 2006 5:40 pm 

    wow, armina, thanks for the tip, especially the ground peanuts. makagawa nga ng polvoron hahahaha

  27. EDITH P. ALLUAD on Thu, 14th Dec 2006 11:21 am 

    I tried my best so many times to make a chocolate coated polvoron but I can’t get the technique how to mix the coated chocolate or I say the procedure of the coated chocolate and how to mixed it with the powdered polvoron in a moulder, please answer me immediately because I have been selling polvoron since I resign in my job. I want to have another variety of polvoron since it is saleable. Thank you for your cooperation.

  28. cayie omnes on Fri, 2nd Feb 2007 6:51 am

  31. Connie on Wed, 28th Feb 2007 3:52 pm 

    cayie, if it does not crumle when you eat it, it isn’t polvoron.

    rose, depends on how much your ingredients cost.

    miray, BAKED it??? no wonder it crumbles. FREEZE it instead.

  37. Jenna on Wed, 30th May 2007 1:30 am 

    Ever since I read this, I’ve been looking for polveron molds (moulds, makers, presses, whatever!) everywhere online. I cannot find them offline at my local supermarket or asian food market. I even checked Tatak Pilipino Online (from K’sMom’s suggestion comment above) but it looks like their website is down. Finally, I found a couple molds at a little obscure website called artisan applications estore. I ordered two from them and they seemed to work pretty good. They are just like the ones we used while growing up in Manilla. Ahhh the fond memories and smells of toasted flour and buttermilk!!

  46. Josie on Thu, 25th Oct 2007 11:26 am 

    Connie, re Mimay’s pambalot question: I use gift wrapping tissue paper (comes in different colours) Hindi ba papel de hapon ang tawag natin dun? This Christmas I will use cellophane as in your above photo.

    I mentioned to you in an earlier post that I think I have an idea on how to make the chocolate covered polvorones. But, after reading some of the comments above, I think my “self-confidence” is waning a bit. lol

  47. LENG on Tue, 30th Oct 2007 4:57 pm 

    Hello!please help me…need to know how to make the graham polvoron…need the recipe please!even the basic and chocolate…. my kids want and luv it! thanks for your help….

  48. Edgar Sevilla on Wed, 31st Oct 2007 8:26 am 

    My son got interested in polvoron and he has been eating them since. He is making a project for school to bring polvoron for his classmates. However, to project also state that the student have to provide a report regarding the items student brings.

    I’ve got everything i need for the report except for one thing. What is the history of polvoron, such how did it start, did it really originated from Philippines or was copied from somewhere elese. Basically, i need the history of how polvoron came about. Any help would do.

    Thank you.

  49. Joan on Wed, 31st Oct 2007 6:02 pm 

    Hi… read all your posts… have the same problm… my polvoron always crumbles…=

  50. Connie on Wed, 31st Oct 2007 6:36 pm 

    Joan, add more butter; chill before wrapping.

  51. Josie on Fri, 2nd Nov 2007 7:41 am 

    Connie, I’m curious about the added cocoa powder. Ito ba yung ginagamit natin sa champorado or hot chocolate? May pagka-ignorante yata ako because I always think of cocoa as “hilaw”. I roll my truffles in instant choc powder (like Nestle’s Quick). Maybe I can dust some with cocoa powder next time. Thanks.

  52. Janete on Tue, 6th Nov 2007 1:13 am 

    Hi Connie!

    I added more butter on mine & it worked in getting it not to crumble so much. I also froze it for hours and it really made a big difference. I am planning on giving the polvoron away for Xmas. I live in the US & I found that the best & economical way of wrapping the polvoron is the gift tissue that comes in different colors. Meron din Xmas decorated gift tissue which is perfect for the holidays. I am still experimenting on the different flavors. So far these are the flavors of my polvoron: peanuts, ube, pinipig, grahams, vanilla, chocolate. Thanks for your recipe Connie! God bless.

  53. Lyn on Tue, 6th Nov 2007 2:57 pm 

    I learned a lot! I want to try making polvoron also since my husband and I are starting a small business of espasol and tikoy. I think next in line for us would be polvoron!

  54. Lyn on Tue, 6th Nov 2007 2:59 pm 

    But wait, wanna ask again if the cocoa that you mix for the chocolate polvoron could be that of Ricoa used for baking? do you toast it with the flour since it’s still uncooked?

  55. anne on Tue, 6th Nov 2007 3:44 pm 

    successful ang naging business ko about choco coated polvoron the first time i made it parang it’s really perfect for me, i dont have any formal training from anyone and this is the very first time i make polvoron…i have lots of flavors avaible like whte chocolate coated polvoron,cookes n cream,cheese, peanut butter, strawberry, buko pandan, ube and butter milk and my best seller talaga is the coated polvoron aside from that best seller din ang cheese and cookies n cream…

  56. mina on Tue, 6th Nov 2007 4:06 pm 

    miss connie,
    the very first i make polvoron i found the recipe here and i make some research on how to make it better and make my own recipe..because honestly i can afford the super mahal na training sa iba i want to make a business but i don’t want more gastos….then after that i start my own business and made it so far so good…i also have white choco and choco coated polvorons and other 7 flavors…and i have some suggestion para hindi po kyo mahirapan mag wrap you can use small cups like the one we use sa mga macaroons and cookies..if you want to know i can share my own recipe and you can email me..thanks and god bless you more…

  57. Connie on Tue, 6th Nov 2007 4:40 pm 

    Josie & Lyn, I don’t understand what you mean by cocoa being “hilaw”/uncooked.

  58. taj on Tue, 6th Nov 2007 7:43 pm 

    suggest ko lang,for those with “crumbling” problems try nyo add some more melted butter or cooking oil for the mixture to be compact. for heavy duty, good quality pulvoron molders go to Divisoria.
    all shapes and sizes meron doon.
    it’s easier to wrap the molded pulvoron using imported cellophane kasi yung local mas manipis and medyo lumalaban pag fold mo.

  59. lyn on Thu, 8th Nov 2007 4:45 pm 

    Dear anne and mina, could you share with me different variations of your polvoron? I am also starting a small business of polvoron here in quezon…I’d really appreciate it if you do. God bless!

  60. mj on Thu, 8th Nov 2007 8:58 pm 

    taj,

    hi! where in divisoria can you give me the exact place?ksi gusto ko maging unique ang mga shapes ng molder ko,what is the difference sa imported and local cellophane?ksi ung bnibli ko 7.50 from bookstores and groceries…thanks!

  61. Janete on Fri, 9th Nov 2007 8:30 am

  65. taj on Fri, 9th Nov 2007 7:35 pm 

    Mj, imported na nga siguro yung 7.50 na cellophane sa bookstore,makapal kasi yung imported.i bought my molder a long time ago sa Divi nga.Pero my sis-in-law discovered a new store NEW SINKIAN HENG CORP. address: C. Palanca near Quinta market.
    MINA, i’m also interested sa recipe ng choco polvoron.can i also get a copy of your recipe? thanks

  66. Josie on Sat, 10th Nov 2007 7:54 am 

    Pareho pala kami ni Lyn. I was used to “cooked” cocoa as in mixing it and simmering with the rice when we make champorado; also, I remember my mother making hot chocolate (niluluto). So mixing it as it is with the other polvoron ingredients is something new to me - but I would like to give it a try. Just asking, Connie, to make sure. Thanks.

  67. Connie on Sat, 10th Nov 2007 8:05 am 

    Josie, the chocolate for making hot choco drink, the one that is cooked, is not cocoa powder. They are cacao tablets.

  68. Josie on Sat, 10th Nov 2007 8:32 am 

    That, too, Connie. I am looking at a tin of cocoa right now. Outside the tin is this hot cocoa recipe: “Blend 1 tbsp cocoa with 1 tbsp sugar or more to taste. Mix in 1 tbsp cold milk until smooth. Stir in 1 cup hot milk.” This was probably the hot or cooked cocoa I remember. Anyway, as long as we’re talking about the same cocoa, my chocolate polvoron will be okay. Thanks again.

  69. mina on Sat, 10th Nov 2007 10:55 pm 

    leng and taj,
    hi! i already place here the procedures and ingredients, also all the flavors that i have..thanks!

  70. LENG on Mon, 12th Nov 2007 1:31 am 

    Mina!
    Super thanks talaga, I received na your e-mail..can’t wait to cook for my two kids…Will keep you posted if successful yun ginawa ko…hehehe Btw, yun graham ang ingredients to make polvoron- would you know also? thanks ulit!

  71. Libay on Mon, 12th Nov 2007 11:15 pm 

    Mina,

    Thank you very much sa info. You’re so generous to share your recipe. I wish to contact you thru your cel kung di makakaabala. What about the store selling cheap ingredients? I’m from Quezon Province but I often go to Manila too. Thanks and more power in your polvoron business.

  72. mina on Tue, 13th Nov 2007 11:43 am 

    libay,
    hi!no problem im just so happy lang po kasi na sobrang okay ang start ng business ko kya i’m also happy to share it sa lahat ng gusto rin po na mag start ng polvoron business…you can email me if you want so i can answer some of your questions…thanks and god bless!

  73. Jemmie on Tue, 13th Nov 2007 10:43 pm 

    Hi Connie,
    I just want to ask if it’s ok not to chill the polvoron after I wrapped them? Hindi ba sya masisira since I chilled it before wrapping them? My question also goes with yema balls since I also chill them before shaping.
    Thanks so much.

    Jemmie, yes, but they will be more difficult to wrap. Bakit sya masisira if you chill before wrapping? With yema balls, they might be too firm to shape once chilled. Cooling to room temp is ideal in my experience.

  75. Jemmie on Thu, 15th Nov 2007 3:23 am 

    Thanks Connie for the reply, but I guess I didn’t phrase the question well (sorry =P). What I meant was diba for easier wrapping, it’s better to chill the polvoron first. But after chilling and wrapping them, is it ok if i just stock it at room temperature for days?

    Naisip ko lang kasi baka parang tulad sya ng mga leftover foods na dapat ay nilalagay sa ref para hindi masira. Although I know na un mga tinitindang polvoron ay wala sa ref, pero naisip ko lang since commercial un baka may nilalagay silang preservatives or something.

    Thanks again and sorry for my ignorant questions. Hehe Please bear with me. =P

  76. Connie on Thu, 15th Nov 2007 7:40 am 

    Ah okay, I get it now. Well, considering that there’s milk in polvoron, I don’t know if that’s advisable. Milk can keep for a few months if stored in an air tight container. But if it has been mixed with butter… I’d be scared of storing them at room temp.

  77. Jemmie on Fri, 16th Nov 2007 12:42 am 

    Oh ok, thanks so much for answering all my questions and of course for the wonderful recipes. =P

    i just can’t find a store here in our place selling CBS, and even baking chocolates are rare. Any suggestion where to purchase it? Thanks so much.

  80. Buntis Mom on Sun, 18th Nov 2007 9:08 am 

    According to Mina, she bought her CBS sa chocolate lovers sa P Tuazon in cubao area….

  88. Jimmy on Mon, 31st Dec 2007 8:54 am 

    Thank you po sa recipe. Do you use the sifter for the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, powdered milk)?

  89. Connie on Mon, 31st Dec 2007 9:15 am 

    Jimmy, my four sifter is a recent acquisition and still unused. When we made that batch of polvoron, we just used an ordinary wire strainer (salaan).

  90. Josie on Tue, 1st Jan 2008 2:22 am 

    Happy New Year to you and your family, Connie!!! Polvoron was one of my giveaway gifts again to friends this Christmas - but not just the regular polvoron this time. I made your version of the chocolate polvoron, and also made some with ground pecan nuts. I coated them with light/milk chocolate and white chocolate, all inspired by your tips and ideas. I found bars of coating chocolate at the store and just melted them away. My first batch did not look as good as the ones you bought from Vieux Chalet pero puede pasar na rin (I’ll email you a photo). I made a lot of polvoron and kept some in the freezer, and last night I coated some again and they looked smoother this time. They looked great wrapped in cellophane but I didn’t find this wrapper too pliable, so I shifted to giftwrapping tissue. The process of coating was quite tedious, kasi paisa-isa, but the result was satisfying. (There must be a way of coating multiple polvoron.) Also, wala pa ditong chocolate coated polvoron kaya “hit” ang regalo ko. Maraming maraming salamat saiyo, Connie.

  91. massie on Wed, 2nd Jan 2008 5:25 pm 

    Reading the suggestions and comment was encouraging. I am into business and I operate a small canteen but originally my goal was into food production. We already have soya products and yoghurt. I want to have a new product to introduce. Wala po ang chocolate coated polvoron which is actually my next target so my research brought me to this site. Now, gusto ko ring subukan. I am from Bontoc, Mountain Province, isa pong akong igorota. I hope your tips, comments and suggestions can help. Thank you guys!

    Hello to all who reads!

    My mother taught me how to make polvoron when I was a child. Back then I just used a large tablespoon as a mold, but thanks to an earlier post, I found a mold to order online, and will even try the mini muffin pan method. I’m pretty creative when it comes to cooking and am looking forward to trying new twists with polvoron. However, I don’t speak the language and understand only little (which I blame my mother for not teaching me!), I am wondering if anyone would mind sharing some of their creative polvoron recipes with me … in english. I see a lot mentioned of the chocolate coated ones that I’m really excited to find out more! Has anyone tried chopped or slivered almonds in theirs?

    Anyway, I’m looking forward to hearing from anybody.

    Salamat Po! (See? I know just a little. I just hope I spelled it right!)

    And God bless!!!

    P.S. My husband and children love the few filipino dishes I cook for them, I want to surprise them with dessert now!

  97. Roselle on Sun, 27th Apr 2008 3:23 pm 

    Hi i learned a lot in this. Pano ba pumunta sa CBS sa cubao from farmers plaza. Kung pwede din pong makahingi ng lahat ng recipe ng ibat ibang flavor na polvoron.

    Anong klaseng butter anggamit nyo?

  98. Roselle on Sun, 27th Apr 2008 3:29 pm 

    Quote from ms.mina

    for white choco and choco coated polvoron i dip nyo lang sa melted white choco or chocolate na may cocoa butter substitute nabibili rin to sa ibang bake shops and mura lang din sya haluan nyo lang ng 1-2 tablespoon tanggal ang lapot ng choco and makintab pa sya after i dip and madami pa kyo magagawa pag nilagyan ng cbs hndi sayang ang puhunan nyo..then after that i ref nyo

    Ms mina i copied this in your comment last nov 2007. di ko lang po masyadong maintindhan. ano po ung ihahalong 1-2 tablespoons? and ano yung pag nilagyan ng cbs? pasencia na po..

    If you are ever in Manila, look for HOP (house of polvoron). Their polvoron is really really good.

    I always make sure to get boxes of those things when I’m back home.

    i believe they also have choco coated.

  119. lea on Sun, 2nd Nov 2008 9:49 pm 

    Ms. Connie,

    Hello po. I’m Lea, and I’m 17. A high school senior pa lang.

    May project po kami and I was wondering if it’s a good idea to add malunggay powder to pulvoron. I’ve read in my internet article sites that there is such a thing as “malunggay pulvoron.”

    I’m still confused with the cocoa powder. Eto po ba yung as in hindi pa luto? I remember I tasted cocoa powder before at hindi pa siya matamis as I thought it would be. Is it available in the grocery?

    Hoping for your answer. You can e-mail me at lea_ribaya@yahoo.com

  120. Connie on Sun, 2nd Nov 2008 10:22 pm 

    Lea, I don’t do readers’ school projects, sorry. You’ll have to experiment on your own about malunggay.

    Re cocoa powder. You use it right out of the container. As to not being sweet, if it were sweet it wouldn’t be pure.

  121. lea on Mon, 3rd Nov 2008 2:39 pm 

    Was just getting your opinion. :) I didn’t intend to make you do it.

    Anyway, what is the difference on the polvoron if confectioner’s sugar were used?

  122. Connie on Mon, 3rd Nov 2008 4:04 pm 

    “what is the difference on the polvoron if confectioner’s sugar were used?”

    Try using it and you’ll know and have answers for your research. :)

  123. Minnie on Wed, 19th Nov 2008 9:48 am 

    hi! im gonna use ur recipe po ha… kasi i have to help my mom in her business and im looking for ways to have a variety in the foodies that she’s selling online… best selling po namin leche flan but a lot of people are asking for polvoron.. they would usually ask if it taste like goldilocks.. ehem! mas masarap ang homemade noh! hehehe… Thanks for the tips & God bless!
