Some of the I's in the instructions doesn't mean me, it means the person who originally created the treat thingy.

Me and my mom (this one is me, Lucky) made polvoron today. I tasted it---if you follow the recipe carefully, it'll turn out GREAT!

Before you start: Be careful, you might not like it or the taste, but I hope you try it!

*measuring cup up to 1 whole cup

* Polvoron Moulder - if you live overseas, polvoron moulder may be available in some Pinoy Stores in your area. When I went back to the Philippines I bought these polvoron moulder at SM. There are round and oval moulders and they can be available in regular size or extra large.

5. After mixing VERY well, cool polvoron in the fridge for about 20 minutes or until firm, but not too firm that it is hard to mold.

5. Fill the mould with the mixture, press it hard by using a spoon, then release it, if it is still too loose, add more butter or olive oil. Make sure that you could pick up the polvoron without it crumbling straight away.

6. Place the polvoron in a airtight container, chill in the fridge until firm. (chilling again is optional)

7. Carefully wrap the polvoron individually in japanese paper or cellophane.  (optional! Although the cellophane or wax paper is needed. You need to wrap the polvoron in something!)

Keep refrigerated until you want to eat them. You can store them on the fridge for about a week, or you can freeze them.

Home made Polvoron are wonderful food gift idea, by using colourful cellophane or Japanese papers, they give the polvoron a festive look, They make great gifts during the holiday seasons and if you put them in a box or in a small basket and tie a ribbon in the traditional holiday colours of red and green.
