When Mom Violy spotted Crisostomo’s handwritten menu, something in her chest lit up: home-style lumpia, sinigang steaming in clay pots—could this be the comfort food she’d been missing?

Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce.

KitKat Dates with Cinnamon Almond Cashew Recipe

Carmina saw a store that carried KitKat Cocoa with Wafer Spread from Nature's Holistic Online Shopee Philippines. The price of 130 grams 185.00 pesos ($3.03) not including shipping and handling.

I had purchased some Vegan All Natural Cinnamon Almond Cashew to replace peanut butter. 

We know fruit dates are expensive. Lately my family from California had visited us and relatives had sent some fruit dates to Mom Violy. Mom Violy had given Carmina some to try. I had remember wanting to make a recipe we often see in social media.

It is time for me to explore and see if how it would taste to revise the recipe to your taste.
