In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of glutinous rice flour and 1 cup of water. Mix the ingredients with a spatula until a shaggy dough begins to form.

Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead by hand for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Divide the dough into 24 small, equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Take one dough ball and flatten it into a disc, about 2 inches in diameter. Place one Flat Tops chocolate in the center of the flattened dough.

Carefully fold the dough over the chocolate, bringing the edges together to enclose it completely. Pinch the edges firmly to seal, forming a small, oval-shaped dumpling. Repeat this process for all remaining dough portions and chocolates.

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

Carefully drop the prepared chocolate palitaw pieces into the boiling water, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook in batches if necessary. The palitaw will sink at first.

Continue to cook until the palitaw pieces float to the surface, which indicates they are cooked through. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes after they begin to float.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked palitaw from the water and place them on a serving plate. Set aside to cool slightly while preparing the dip.

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine 1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons of all purpose cream, 3 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Whisk all the dip ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness if desired.

Serve the warm chocolate palitaw immediately with the prepared salted cream dip on the side.
