Choco Sticks (Aldi) By @Cinabar

First, we had Pocky, the Japanese version of stick biscuits with a coating. Then came Mikado, a more mainstream UK version, and now we have a similar Aldi own-brand biscuit called Choc Sticks. I picked them up because I love this type of biscuit, even if they can’t really be dunked. I love dunking biscuits. I love the crazy flavours available from the Japanese import stick biscuits, but the first ones I’ve found in Aldi are milk chocolate.

Inside the box is a bag with a really good portion of biscuits; there were quite a lot packed in. The biscuit stick (a bit like a non-salted pretzel) is twisted and is about two-thirds dipped in milk chocolate. The biscuits have a lovely crunch, and they are fun to eat. I was impressed by the chocolate; it was thicker than I thought it would be, and the quality was lovely. The chocolate is milk chocolate and has a strong cocoa taste, but it is also creamy and rather nice. I found myself meaning to only have 3 or 4, and I ate far more and had to close the box. These Aldi Choco Sticks are lovely, and I hope they bring out some more varieties in the future.
