Goldilocks USA - Good Polvoron Duet
Price: $35/4 boxes (2 of each flavor)

Don’t forget a little something sweet to nibble on that complements your favorite cup of tea! Not at all related to the fairytale, although when you take a bite of Goldilocks' newest dessert—The Good Polvoron (similar to a shortbread cookie but way tastier) in which every bite is a burst of sunshine!—you'll have a hard time believing it's real! What sets Goldilocks apart is that their Good Polvoron is the only one on the market that adds no artificial sweeteners, no added preservatives, zero trans fat, and contains granola and dried fruits (competitors typically make polvoron with just flour, milk, and butter). Offered in two flavors, Oatrageous Pinacolada and Cranola Sunrise, it’s an ode to a carefree, happy lifestyle. Goldilocks is the best-loved Filipino bakery worldwide and the #1 bakeshop in the Philippines. Originally opening in 1966 in a small bakeshop in Pasong Tamo by sisters Milagros and Clarita, they launched a catering business three years later and expanded into the U.S. market in the 70s with its first store in Artesia, California
