The Pocky sticks are a cocoa flavor and combine delightfully with the ‘Choco Mint’ coating. Limited edition and highly recommended.
Pocky is a Japanese snack food brand, produced by Ezaki Glico. It’s well-known for chocolate-coated biscuit sticks with a thin layer of crunchy cookie at one end. The name comes from the Japanese word ‘pokkuri’, which translates as ‘to be surprised’ and the snack’s stick shape is supposed to resemble a straw (straws were originally called ‘pocky’ in Japan), often referred to as pocky sticks. There are numerous delicious flavors of pocky but the original and most well-known version is the pocky chocolate flavor. Many of the varieties of pocky are Japan only, country specific releases, or limited editions.
