Chocolate Suman

Wikipedia explains Suman as a rice cake originated from the Philippines, and is cooked using glutinous rice flour and coconut milk. Often wrapped in banana leaves and steamed for several minutes to hours. There are a lot of variants for this rice cake and is very common in the country. 

Others call this Suman Moron which is popular in Leyte, Philippines. This is made up of glutinous rice and chocolate. This is originally cooked while wrapped in banana leaves but because we do not have any, I opted to wrap it in foil and steamed.
