| Almond Crush Pocky |  | 9/10 YUMS |  | Pocky is the classic Japanese candy (well, along with Yan Yan) - likely you can find this in your local grocery store in a few flavors.  But Almond Crush Pocky is harder to come by.  I've had it before a few times, and it's as awesome as the picture indicates.  First of all, the basic facts on Pocky: An individual Pocky is a very thin and long cracker/cookie stick (almost a pretzel without the salt, very dry crispy 'bread'), about six inches long.  Incidentally, so far I have also described Pretz, which is a snack rather than a candy.  To turn this stick into Pocky, they dip it in something sweet, to make it Pretz, they coat it in something savory.  You get a various number of Pocky per pack, and a various number of packs per box, depending on the flavor.  It's about that simple! 
 Almond Crush Pocky is coated in a layer of chocolate, and just buried in little chunks of almond.  So you have the cookie, a bunch of chocolate, and lots of almonds.  Can't go wrong there!  If you're wondering, it comes 4 sticks to a pack, and 6 packs in this particular size box (you get less per pack than with other flavors, probably because of the bulkiness of the almonds).  9/10 Yums every time.  I think Almond Crush may be my favorite Pocky flavor, but we have 3 other flavors in our review line-up this month, so we shall see.
