There are lots of Pocky from Glico to choose from at online store Oyatsu Cafe, but I especially loved the look of these Pocky Panda. It's no surprise that the flavor is cookies & cream, it's the perfect combination for a panda to represent!
Everything about the packaging on these is super cute. Even the inner bag holding the Pocky sticks is adorable.The little panda is using his Pocky as a wand!
Fans of Pocky will be pleased to see that the sticks have a chocolate base rather than the usual plain biscuit. They're then covered in a creamy vanilla layer containing lots of crunchy biscuit pieces.
As soon as I opened up the box I could smell the sweet creaminess of the outer layer. It's a sugary vanilla scent that was very appealing to me.
They tasted just as good as I was expecting with a delicious combination of biscuity crunch offset by the vanilla sweetness. I'm quite partial to any type of cookie with a cream filling, and these are essentially a Pocky stick version of that combination. I adored these Pocky Panda, they're the tastiest Pocky sticks I've tried by far. They're snack perfection!
The box even has a panda finger puppet activity on the back. Pure kawaii! I loved trying these Pocky and I will definitely be back for more. Oyatsu Cafe also has a new Limited Edition Pocky called Pocky Kumamon that looks fantastic too - they have a chocolate base with a rich chocolate coating and cookie pieces.
There are also these Pocky Green Tea Chocolate Crush which I will be reviewing very soon!
