Hooray for more Pocky! This came as part of my Japanese package back when I reviewed the Olympic gold Kit Kat, the good old marble Pocky, which is chocolate pocky that then has caramel marbled over it. Sounds yummy.

Marble Pocky always looks great. This box has a bunch of hearts on the front, as well as a picture of a few Pocky sticks. The Marble tab at the top that you can see opens up to reveal three gold and white packets which have three sticks in each.

Why only three? Because these are much thicker than normal. A caramel smell wafts from the packets as you open them, enticiting you, or at least me. Mine were almost all broken into a few pieces but it wasn’t a big issue. The cookie sticks are much thicker than normal, much like the chocolate that coats them.

Caramel and chocolate is a tried and tested combination and this does of course go together very well. The Japanese take on caramel seems to be a little different than ours, the taste is a little…creamier, maybe? It just has more flavour basically, as our British caramel has a tendency to be tasteless.

Overall, really nice. The flavours go together well, it’s a filling snack and it’s something I’d have again. Well worth checking out if you can ever find these in the revolving door world of Japanese confectionery.
