Let me start with a disclaimer. Down here in the south, the term biscuit means something entirely different, and usually involves a hunk of greasy meat, an egg and possibly cheese. This review refers to the English biscuit, you know the kind...we call them...cookies. These are about the funniest looking cookies you will ever see (except for maybe them "Nutter Butters").
Just like Botan Rice Candy, these tasty little treats are available at your local Asian Food Market. If you don't have an Asian Food Market, you may be lucky enough to find it in the specialty or international foods section at your grocery store. If you really live in the boonies, you might just have to order them online. According to Epinions, they are currently available at Amazon Marketplace for $1.99, which is a competitive price (plus shipping).
Glico Chocolate Pocky Biscuit Sticks are long finger-like cookies (sort of like a naked, elongated cadbury Fingers). The rather bland cookies are dipped in rich chocolate halfway up the stick. Half the stick remains naked, while half the stick is coated in chocolate. The chocolate has a surprisingly rich flavor for an inexpensive imported cookie. The cookie itself does not have much flavor, somewhat resembling those crackers in the cheese-and-cracker snacks.
My kids love these cookies. They always grab a box when he happen to visit an Asian Food Market. The chocolate filled Koala cookies and the Pocky Sticks are their favorite. Pocky also makes strawberry flavored sticks. Aside from the pre-dipped sticks, Pocky also makes a variety that has a "dipping sauce" that allows the kids to dip their cookies themselves. This allows the kids to "play with their food" which always makes for a popular snack. They also produce other flavors that are harder to find. They include Green Tea, Coconut, Milk, Mousse, Almond and Men's Dark Chocolate!
