Have always liked Red Label ensaymada. Gave the ube flavor a try. Microwaved it for a few seconds and it warm and tasty.
sjans53
Sooo good! The one in the pic doesn't have any ube inside but each one has Ube in different places so they aren't all empty per say. Regardless, they are very good. I followed someone's instructions here to throw them in an oven at 350F for about 5mins until soft and melty and oh they are amazing! I cut them in half and have them with a little coffee and it is divine. Only wish they were a little bigger. I was surprised, so set your expectations. Oh, it also has a California cancer/reproductive harm warning on it. I was surprised by that so I figure it may be good for people to know that before buying!
