Pili brittle rounds - pili nuts cooked with sugar and formed into discs - that come semi-wrapped in dried, large pili leaves, four pieces to each leaf.
Handy, economical, but best of all environmentally correct, and impressively presentable. Informative, too, for those of us who didn't have the privilege of growing up seeing pili trees in our backyards, and who won't likely see any tree, or even just a leaf, on a tourist trip to Bicol, where these trees abound.
