Forget standard potato chips. Filipino snacking is a flavor explosion of garlic, vinegar, and sweet milk.

The Classics

• Chocnut: A crumbly peanut-milk chocolate bar. A nostalgic favorite.
• Boy Bawang: Fried corn kernels heavily seasoned with garlic. Warning: addictive and pungent!
• Dried Mangoes: From Cebu, widely considered the best in the world.
• Piattos: Unique hexagonal potato crisps in cheese or sour cream flavor.

These snacks are perfect for beach trips or movie nights. They also make great, cheap souvenirs ("pasalubong") for friends back home.
