Goldilocks Pinipig Polvoron – Toasted rice shortbread cookie the flavor was ok but the texture was off-putting very crumbly almost chalky Alex-5 Joe-7
Goldilocks Coffee Crunch Polvoron – coffee shortbread with cashews very strong coffee flavor and odor. You can smell coffee as soon as you open the package, still has the same crumbly dry texture. The flavor was so good I think I could get used to the texture. Alex-6 Joe-9

An interesting box Alex had his second highest score overall and although my score was very close to his I have a half dozen countries rated higher than this box. We both had a mixture of some very high scores but also some low scores that brought the average down.
Alex 7.05 out of 10
Joe 7.00 out of 10
