Going Bananas

BanaCrunch is a special recipe that combines classic ingredients like a butter cookie crust, rich cashew caramel, fresh bananas, and delicate cream to create something truly special. It’s topped with honeycomb like a golden crown fit for the queen of the family—moms. Available in all Conti’s stores or have it delivered straight to your doorstep through the [website](contis.ph), Conti’s messenger, or call 8580-8888. It’s also available for Grab and Foodpanda deliveries. Plus, for a limited time only, you can bring home an exclusive 2-in-1 apron tote bag with every purchase of a whole BanaCrunch. Runs from May 12 until supplies last.

Mango Choco goodness

Mango-Choco Marjolaine by Red Ribbon combines the best of both chocolate and mango. This newest treat brings together sweet indulgences to create the perfect symphony of flavors and textures with its crunchy-chewy wafer layers, combined with refreshingly sweet mangoes, and rich chocolate filling, together with praline cream, finished off with roasted cashew nuts. Price starts at only P899 for Junior size and P1,299 for Regular size.
