Glico – Peejoy Chocolate Malt / Tiramisu (Day In Supermarket, Birmingham)




Here is another Glico product. I spoke about Glico a few days ago when I mentioned that Kraft food had started to manufacture Pocky (also known as Mikado in the UK and Europe). Pocky is a thin biscuit with a flavoured coating on the outside. Peejoy are its natural opposite then, a biscuit stick with the filling on the inside. I like to think of this as an inside-out Pocky.

I have two flavours to try from this range so far:

Chocolate Malt – this was a creamy flavoured biscuit stick with a chocolate malt flavour filling. I was expecting a Maltesers like edge to this biscuit, but the taste was only vaguely malty, and had more of a dark chocolate flavour. They are still very nice biscuits though.

Tiramisu – this is the flavour that impressed me the most. Again the filling was contained in a creamy plain biscuit stick. The contents had a very authentic Tiramisu flavour, with a lovely hint of coffee and mascarpone cheese. It was very different, and very tasty.

Both were as morish as regular Pocky and well worth seeking out.
