Where to buy Polvoron Molds|Order Polvoron Molders

Polvoron is a sweet that's made of toasted flour, powdered milk, sugar and melted butter. They usually come in colorful plastic wrappers or wrapped in Japanese paper.

Filipinos love Polvoron, pulboron, polboron or however you spell it. However, I always hear, or rather read, questions regarding the polvoron molds or molders especially from our Kabayans outside the country. I guess they can't purchase polvoron molds in countries like the U.S., Canada, Australia, Belgium, United Kingdom, UAE or anywhere but Philippines. Is polvoron a native Filipino delicacy? Oh, by the way, I've decided I could help you with the polvoron molder issue. Presenting: Kitchenmess Polvoron Molder To Order!!! No, I don't produce polvoron molders, I'll buy it here in the Philippines and send it to you wherever you are (if the PhilPost permits). Of course, mail rates will vary, and the Polvoron molder price? Depending on the size and style. I think the Polvoron Molder price will be between $3-$9.
