    Nostalgic Filipino Candies

    ANGELO COMSTI

    Nowadays, the choices Filipinos have when it comes to candies are just too many to name. But back in the day,
    there were just a handful of kids and adults alike relied on for a quick sugar fix. This short list of candies often
    found stored in jars in sari-sari stores is where most of our loose change would go. They not only offer a sweet
    flavour, but for those who grew up with them, nostalgic memories too.

    Nostalgic Filipino Candies


    Chocnut
     Choc Nut is a thumb-sized small candy bar made with crushed roasted peanuts, cane sugar, milk
    powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla.
     It has a delicate texture that when not handled well, crumbles into powder.
     It was originally distributed by a Malabon-based company called New Unity Sweets Manufacturing
    Corporation.
    Peter’s Butter Ball
     It’s butterscotch-flavored hard candy balls in creamy brown packets marked with orange stripes.
     It was first introduced in 1967 and has been handed to a number of manufacturing companies.
    Today, the PPC Resources Group produces them.
     It is named after the American candy maker Peter Paul Candy Manufacturing Company, the original
    maker.
    Nips
     Nips are tiny, disc-shaped chocolates that come coated in different colors.
     It was introduced by URC’s subsidiary Consolidated Food Corp. back in the 1960s.
     The name reportedly is a reverse of the word “spin,” which describes one of the stages the product
    takes to become what it is at the end.
    Mik-Mik
     Mik-mik comes a small red packet of sweetened milk powder with a matching straw for kids to “sip”
    the candy with.
     Over the years, Mik-Mik has gotten two flavour varieties—peanut and ube.
     Jocker’s Food Industry founder Robert Sy came up with this candy after enjoying something similar in
    Divisoria.
    Flat Tops and Curly Tops
     They may look similar, with only a swirl top design differentiating them, but these two chocolate
    candies actually taste differently since they have varying formulations.
     Based on looks, Curly Tops is slightly darker in color than Flat Tops.
    Regardless of the slight differences, both have been well-loved by many generations.

      
     Both chocolate candies are manufactured by Ricoa, formerly Philfoods.
