This choco polvoron recipe is ideal for small home based business. It has longer shelf life because your chocolate won’t melt at room temperature. Just store it in containers or sealed plastic and it can last long for a month.
Suggested variety for Choco Polvoron would be adding any of the following:
Pinipig, cookies and cream, ube, peanut, Graham’s, pandan, and cashew nuts for added flavor.
Coating Options for your Choco Polvoron:
Milky White Chocolate Polvoron, Dark Chocolate Coated Polvoron, or 2 toned Chocolate Coated Polvoron or White Chocolate Ube Polvoron. There are plenty of variance you can think about.
For this Choco Polvoron, we are going to use Cocoa Butter Substitute. CBS (cocoa butter substitute) is used by confectioners to thin out thick melted chocolate into perfect consistency. Through CBS, you can easily coat your polvoron or any desserts with the perfect chocolate consistency. It is a very good additives to prevent your chocolate from melting out for longer period of time without refrigeration.
Adding to much CBS can make your chocolate less tasteful, because CBS can thin out your chocolate. So make sure to add CBS little by little and just enough as needed.
You can buy CBS in baking supply stores.
However if you really can’t find CBS, another substitute is lard. Just add 1 tsp Lard when melting your chocolate. Another substitute is Crisco shortening or vegetable shortening.
Do not put too much though, because it may ruin the taste of your chocolate. The best ingredient to use is still CBS that is used globally.
Lard and Crisco can also be bought in baking stores and if you you are lucky, you can find it in SM supermarkets.
