Where to find ingredients
Look for cocoa powder and chocolate sprinkles in the baking aisle of your local supermarket, or in stores that carry imported sweets. Filipino grocery stores often stock these items, especially in sections dedicated to baking supplies or international foods. For a more authentic touch, visit specialty stores that import confectionery ingredients from abroad. If cocoa powder is hard to find, local brands of baking cocoa are suitable substitutes. Chocolate sprinkles are widely available in supermarkets or online shops specializing in baking ingredients. For a more local twist, you can use crushed local chocolate candies or chocolate bits if sprinkles are unavailable.
