SPOT.ph Roadtests...Monde Coco Bites Cookies
We chomped on these tiny treats.
(SPOT.ph) Walking randomly through previously unexplored supermarket aisles is always a fun activity to squeeze into a day full of errands-there's usually a simple kind of thrill that comes with discovering something new. This week's fun find: Monde's Coco Bites Cookies, which stood out because, well, we thought the cookies pictured on the package actually looked like chicken nuggets. How could that not get us curious?

Â
Price and availability: P6.25 for 33 grams, at supermarkets
Â
Best for: Office coffee breaks or between-class snacking with the barkada. They're bite-sized, so sneaking a few during a marathon lecture might help revive the brain cells, too (but you didn't hear that from us).
Â
Best with: Coffee. Whether you like your cup of joe black or creamy, these would go well with that shot of caffeine. The crunchiness of the cookies can also withstand a few good dunks in an ice-cold glass of milk, or go for broke and have them with vanilla ice cream.
Â
Tastes like: Coconut, actually. The toasted kind that makes you think of long afternoons on the beach with nothing to do but sit in the sun and watch the waves.
Â
Manage your expectations: The package promised "real coconut bits," but we didn't really find any.
Â
Yay or nay: Yay. They got the coconut flavor just right, and this is the kind of snack that would tide you over till the next meal. Or the next beach vacation.
