Chocolate PockyName: Pocky (Chocolate)
Brand: Glico Place Purchased: Gift from Mom Price: $2.25 Size: 3.53 oz Calories per ounce: 142 Type: Cookie (Pocky)
 I love Pocky. Can I just start with that? What a perfect candy. It’s got the savory crunch of a biscuit and the smooth velvety flavor of chocolate. Opening one of the foil packs I was met with the overwhelming scent of dark chocolate. The sticks were nicely coated (not too much) with chocolate, and leave a little uncoated spot at the bottom where you can hold it without getting chocolately fingers - something they don’t do with chocolate covered pretzels. The coating is a thin sheath, but because of the richness of the chocolate, it’s the right proportion. The biscuit or pretzel part is bland - it’s not salty nor sweet, but the perfect bit of crunch and crispness for the chocolate. The portion size is huge. Half the package (250 calories, 90 from fat but only 20 mg of trans fats). I wasn’t able to eat that big of a portion - that’s 22 sticks. I think they’re a great thing to tuck in a lunch bag or to go off on a picnic (provided your pack doesn’t get too hot and they melt and stick together). Easy to snack on, easy to share. Rating: 9 out of 10 See earlier review of Green Tea Pocky.

I love these things—and I seem to have no trouble eating the entire portion size.
Thank you for posting this! I love Chocolate Pocky very much and I too have no problem eating the whole bag. You might want to try Chocolate Pocky made in Thailand. I like them much better than those made in Japan which, I think, are too creamy and make me sick ebfore I can finish half the box. I am guessing that the ones made in Thailand perhaps contain less shortening.
In the early 70’s, my family spent 2 years in Japan. I remember Pocky and lots of other Japanese goodies. I prefer the original sticks to the fancier ones. Yummy!!!
