HELP! Find Me a Particular Middle-Eastern or South-East Asian Chocolate

Does anyone remember what the name of this chocolate I use to buy? It comes in a small 4x2x1 cm size wrapped in a paper wrapping. The inner side of the wrapping is grey and the outer side is a shiny silver. The wrapping is covered in a small paper wrap that you slide off. It has red writing on the front. I think it says 'Choco-???'.
I looked in almost every shop in Auburn and Lakemba (in Sydney) and couldn't find it. Not sure if it's middle eastern or South-East Asian. It tastes like a Middle-Eastern chocolate, though.

It's a fairly dry tasting chocolate that melts in your mouth and crumbles in your fingers if you squeeze it. It almost tastes like you're eating cocoa powder when you bite it.

Note: I haven't purchased this chocolate in about 16 years.

Edit: FOUND IT, thanks to ops2000 below. https://www.pepper.ph/is-chocnut-still-the-king-of-chocolate…

    Edited to add: their Black Fig Pistachio is worthwhile!

        I was thinking it's a Mars bar…

  • Sounds like Patchi chocolate which is quite popular in the Middle East and now opening stores in London. Was it overpriced or standard supermarket stuff?

    It’s this.

    Ticks all what you’ve mentioned. It’s a Filipino chocolate called Choc Nut.

      OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD I LOVE YOU!!!!!

      Where can I buy it in Sydney?

      • Asian stores should have them. Ask where the filipino food aisles are.

        I get them from a store called Tong Li here in Sydney. Stores can be in Westfields, there’s one under World Square.

        • I think Burwood has a Tong Li. Thanks!!!

    • I'm intrigued how you worked this out.

      • I think it's fairly popular in South-East Asian countries.

      • I ate these a lot growing up.

        When the poster described it, I knew what they were describing right away.

        It’s not fairly popular, but the texture is unique along with the taste.

        Taste is like chocolate with peanuts grounded up.

        • The power of the internet. Love it !

  • An Allahuak Bar?

  • I called like 10 Filipino places and they're all sold out or don't sell it. :((((((((((((((((((((((((

  • Damn, I want some now… Going to check out my local Filo store :D

    • Message me if you find any. I can't locate any places in stock.

  • For something you haven’t eaten for a long time. This must’ve really gave you such a big impression, for you to remember a lot about it.

    • No I want to try it

    • The taste is pretty average but my family members love it.

      • I mentioned this to my ph friend and he says it's good to have when drinking too.

  • I’m not even filo and I know about ChocoNut. While you’re there, get some Ube ice cream. Stuff was yum

    • WHERE?????? I want Ube ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Just an update to this thread.

    They're available in large amounts at any Woolworths Metro in Sydney. I went to the one in the city, Pyrmont and Granville and it's sold for $2.50.
