Marble Pocky: Caramel Chocolate

From my Japanese friend Sora. Thanks Sora! (^_^)
A kind of moose Pocky with strips. The strips are probably for decoration only, as the amount shouldn't be enough to affect taste. This caramel chocolate lives up to it's name. Very nice, very caramel, both in fragrance and flavour. Moose Pocky's chocolate layer is thicker so this feels more like candy than cracker stick. Not too sweet, though. I think this proportion is perfect. A box only contains 12 sticks and is on the expensive side.

I have some informations for you : Pocky's company Glico has a deal with the French biscuit/candy company LU for selling Pocky-like bicuits.

They are called "Mikado". First they were only "black chocolate" ones (French people realy like black chocolate (contrary to belgian and suiss people who seems to like milk chocolate either or more).
All are really common.

Then "milk chocolate" mikado appear, and know we have "caramel chocolate", and "white chocolate" (known as "mikado zen", with limited packaging :).

So, here some boxes pictures :
