Even our balikbayan boxes contain plenty of chocolate. So far it doesn't seem to melt.
Just be sure it's well wrapped up if it's in your check-in bag.

In that case may I recommend Aeros, Milky Way ('the chocolate you CAN eat between meals') and Maltesers.

All lightweight chocolates where you are paying mainly for fresh air. :)

[Terpe]

I'm sure I saw loads of Cadbury's chocolate in the SM mall in Marikina.
Good prices and made in UK too (Birmingham).

:D

[grahamw48]

Did you know that they use different recipes, depending upon export market Terpe ? :)

Also special packaging to allow for different temperatures and humidity etc.

Its a strange thing as my wife had never heard of Cadburys when she was in the Philippines. Maybe only sold in certain shops or areas?

[lastlid]

When I went across at Easter, I took a heap of Cadbury's cream eggs. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

And the small cadbury's eggs with the crunchy coating. They loved em.

And a chocolate car for the wifes nephew as a special treat.

Yes. Worth a trip. I notice not all forum members agreed on this in an earlier posting a few months back, but I thought it was worth it. And if you book online a discount can be had on certain days as I recall. Fill yer boots as Steve r put it. :D
