Advantages: delicious, low calories, chocolatey, real hazelnut pieces
Disadvantages: not enough in a box
I love Pocky (what these are called in Japan) so I was super-excited about Mikado coming out in the UK, and I'm very keen to try all the new flavours they produce. As soon as I saw these (on offer, no less) I made sure to pick up a pack and check them out - and I was not disappointed. I wish I had bought more!
Each of these treats consists of a long, thin biscuit stick coated in a delicious chocolate and hazelnut mix. The end of the stick is left clean so that your fingers don't get mucky. I originally thought the coating was a smooth mix like you would get with a chocolate and hazelnut spread, but no - the sticks have tiny bits of real hazelnut peppered over them. Yum! If you can imagine coating a rich tea biscuit in a thin layer of nutella, that's what these treats taste like. And the best part - only 11 calories per stick!
These come in a cardboard box with a foil bag on the inside to keep them fresh. They seem remarkably resilient to breaking in this format, I thought they would fall apart in my bag but they stayed together, although sitting on the box is going to leave you with a lot of crumbs.
Summary: nutty, chocolatey, low-calorie treat
