Belekoy is a sweet treat that is believed to have came from Bulacan. This is made from flour, sugar, vanilla and covered with sugar bits. I have tried a variety of belekoy covered with sesame seeds and they are really yummy.
I have learned to love this just recently when my yobo got his childish craze over sweet delights particularly this treat.
However, I am having difficulty in looking for belekoy in the market that is why I buy tons of belekoy whenever I see it in stores.

Belekoy is gooey or sticky similar to the western nougat. Probably this is the characteristic highlighted in the expression “makunat ka pa sa belekoy” referring to a person who is very serious in penny pinching.
Do you know where I can buy belekoy from? I live in the US and have actually asked several relatives to buy it for me but they couldn't find it anywhere? Not in palengkes, SM supermarket, Bulacan, not even Quiapo.
