Since I moved to Canada,  I have become slightly Pocky Mad.

Now you may ask –  What on earth is a Pocky?

Well I am about to reveal. A Pocky is kind of pretzel flavoured covered stick and are a big craze from Japan. You can read more on the Wikipedia page:

They are similar I think to the Mikado sticks in the UK. Although Pocky have a much wider range of flavours.

The good thing is, they are generally less than 200 calories for a whole box. Which gives you quite a few sticks, and is a great snack/treat for watching a movie.

These are my favourite ones:

These ones are only 170 calories for the whole box, and are kind of like a white chocolate covered coating. I got some for $1 in Wal-Mart, which is one place I have found tends to stock a variety of them. Have also seen them in Oriental food markets.

But you can also order them from Amazon (US):

or if you are in the UK, just Google Pocky and you will find various sites in the UK where you can order them from.
