Chocolate Coated Polvoron

Ingredients:

2 cups of all purpose flour, sifted
2 cups powdered milk
1 cup refined white sugar
1 cup butter

Chocolate coating:
1 cup dark chocolate
1/4 cup fresh milk
2 tsp butter
1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar

Directions:

1. Toast the flour in a shallow pan until it turns light brown.
2. Place in a bowl and mix in the powdered milk, refined sugar and melted butter. Set aside to cool.
3. Pack the mixture in polvoron pressers using a spoon and place the polvoron pieces in a plate and store in the freezer for an hour.

Chocolate coating:
1. Melt the chocolate in a bowl using a double boiler or in a steamer.
2. Mix in the fresh milk and granulated sugar. Mix well until it is smooth.
3. Stick in a plastic toothpick in a polvoron piece gently and dip it in the chocolate sauce to coat.
4. Insert in something sturdy like a styro block. Wrap or store as you like.

Tip:
1. Add more milk to thin the chocolate coating mixture.
2. Add more sugar to thicken the chocolate mixture. I prefer to use confectioner’s sugar since it dissolves easily.
3. I also prefer using whole wheat flour. It is healthier compared to white flour.
