• Theo & Philo Artisan Chocolates

Give your honeybunch Theo and Philo chocolates, not your ordinary chocolates, it has a twist in it.  I would confidently say one of the best locally made chocolates I tasted.  Their dark chocolate with calamansi is one of a kind.  It has a very interesting flavor, somewhat citrus-y and complimented the chocolate very well.  The main ingredient cacao is locally source in Davao and the sugar is from Bacolod.  The packaging is also eye catching, with colors of red, blue, white, and gold somewhat exuding a makabayan feel.  Flavors available are 70% dark chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate with chili, dark chocolate with barako, dark chocolate with dried green mango and salt, dark chocolate with candied ginger, dark chocolate with candied calamansi, milk chocolate with glazed pili nuts and toasted pinipig, and milk chocolate with toffee.  These chocolates will make an excellent gift for your significant other.  You can get them at ECHO stores in Podium and Serendra, Team Manila Store in Rockwell, Shangri-La Hotel Gift Shop, JojiBerry in Mother Ignacia, QC.  Visit their website for other stores http://theoandphilo.com/
