Mamon Tostado

With the advent of newer kiddie snacks (like vegetable chicharon) I sometimes develop a craving for old-time favorites that Gwammy would keep around the house.  Luckily, I was able to come across some La Pacita Mamon Tostado in Unimart, and to my delight, Monique likes the biscuit.  When we were kids, Gwammy used to make home-made mamon tostado, which is basically leftover vanilla sponge cake that is re-heated to create a crunchy texture.  Now, the product is available in supermarkets, but not that easy to find--I guess it's a specialty product then!
