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.

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!
