Cream Scones - Quick Bread Scones are a kind of sweet biscuit. They are very common in the United Kingdom. Here is a pretty good recipe that I made after a lot of trial and error. These are quite easy. You can add a bit more sugar if you want. These taste awesome with grape or blackberry jelly!
Belgium Butter Waffle Cookies

Sweet Biscuit Cookies. These sweet and buttery biscuits are ideal for a quick dessert. They are light, fluffy, and flavorful, making them a favourite of both children and adults.
Feeling tropical this week with mango pineapple! I think the idea and packaging is great, and vaguely remember the fruit bits being a bit too chewy. Also, it had more of a generic tropical/mango-y flavor, and the pineapple was pretty much lost in the mix. I think this tends to happen a lot with the two-fruit flavors, it’s hard to let both shine instead of being part of a generic fruity taste. ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ( 3 / 5 )
Continuing the midi series, this time with lemon! Midi lemon was made in an adorable packaging collaboration with a drink that can be seen here ! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try the drink, but this flavor was fantastic. I am a big fan of lemon desserts, and think the packaging idea was super cute and new for Glico. I’d love to see more creative packaging ideas like this in the future! If you come across these, just be careful- eating a ton may end up being a little too sweet for your stomach (hubris). ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ ( 4 / 5 )
If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you’ll probably guess what I have to say about this flavor. A lot of more artificial flavors can be enhanced by adding a new element- and these fresh strawberry fruity bits are no exception. They make a common flavor (the standard pink strawberry) much more natural and interesting, to give me everything I wish the normal strawberry flavor is. Glico did us right with this upgrade ~

This week’s flavor is vanilla whipped cream! Although the concept is interesting, it just…does’t taste very good. Whipped cream is light and fluffy, which is hard to capture in a solid chocolate based coating. Like other white chocolate/vanilla flavors, this was too sweet and overall left a lot to be desired

Hmm... stale. If you let a pack of Oreos go stale, they become all soft and chewy and yes. I guess the same cannot be said for Pocky :(
After last week’s beverage-inspired flavor, we are moving on to milk tea pocky, covered with crushed almond pieces. This flavor was so exciting, but I wasn’t able to fully enjoy it, because I ordered it online only for it to arrive long past its expiration date. I tried it because I spent good money on these uncommon flavors, but it tasted off. Let this be a lesson! Most flavors come and go in cycles, and are pretty hard to find once they are gone. More unusual flavors offered online are likely quite old, from back when the flavor was in regular circulation.
Back to the review! I’m going to give the flavor the benefit of the doubt, because I love milk teas, and love flavors that introduce a crunchy element (ie, delicious almond bits). The cream was nice and bittersweet, with milky overtones that still made the box not too bad despite being stale. ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ( 3 / 5 ) - skewed due to being stale
This week brings you one of the many macha or green tea variations glico has put out. This special, extra fine macha with a macha biscuit stick is, well, not the best flavor for someone who doesn’t like macha (like me). That said, this richer flavor was more natural than the normal green tea flavor, which I find a little waxy tasting. I was apprehensive at first, but I think you really can taste the difference in quality that they are claiming on the box.

(only because I just don’t love macha, if you do like the flavor this will probably be 5 stars for you!)
But more chocolate is more!!
Happy Wednesday! This week is a slight twist on the classic flavor we all know and love- traditional pocky but this time with a bold, extra thick layer of chocolate. Now, I know there is thin pocky, so I guess this makes sense, but. I’m a chocolate-loving girl, and if I want more chocolate on my pocky, I’ll just reach for a box of their midi chocolate, which has a creamier chocolate and just goes all the way as far as extra coating goes. That leaves this box as an awkward in between that I don’t see myself ever craving in the future.

Got milk? This week we have a second attempt at dairy flavors- which, thankfully, is much better than the last. This summer-branded milk pocky is light, creamy, and not too cheesy. I was surprised to find myself finishing the box without even realizing it! Milk flavored candies and snacks are much less common in the US, and this is probably my favorite out of ones I have tried.

I waited, and I have been rewarded! •v•
This week, Kumamon brings a simple but effective solution to last week’s problem! The revamped hot cocoa flavor comes with bits of cookie mixed into the milky chocolate coating. This is the perfect addition to make a mediocre flavor much more enjoyable! The crunchy bits remind me of dunking cookies into my hot chocolate as a kid, and I love it.

This week’s special guest is Kumamon, here to introduce hot cocoa pocky. I love the concept, but struggle to see how this flavor really stands out, aside from having a chocolate biscuit stick. There are a lot of ‘milky’ chocolate flavors so I am not sure what exactly could make this cocoa flavor stand out on its own. Luckily, Glico seemed to think the same thing– come back next week to see how they amped up this flavor! ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ( 3 / 5 )
Reminds me of those chocolate oranges we get for christmas. Whack and unwrap!
This week’s flavor is quite a-peeling! Bittersweet milk chocolate with dried orange and cookie bits ! I love flavors that think outside of the box with texture, but the flavor palette was a little all over the place for me. Maybe a darker chocolate, or more prominent ‘orange’ flavors would have made me happy. Instead, it came off more like a chocolate cookie stick with a hint of orange, but not too bad of a flavor overall. Points for creativity!

I will take it! I will take the rest of the pocky to mordor!
(Nom nom nom nom)
W for Wednesday! Continuing the series, we have a rich vanilla/white chocolate creme on a chocolate biscuit stick. I loved the aesthetic of the box, but this flavor was tooth-rotting sweet- in a way I did not enjoy. This is one of the flavors where I try one then try to pawn the rest off onto my friends so its not a waste…but, hopefully this will be the worst of the W series and they’ll only get better from now on!
