Today I am reviewing another Japanese product from Candysan which they kindly sent me to review. I wasn't sure what to make of these Bon Macadamia Fromage. Fromage is cheese in French so I was a little confused by the whole Macadamia plus cheese thing but I am always willing to give anything a go.
You get 3 individual packets of these sticks in the box and within those packets is 3 biscuits. Now I will be honest, I am not entirely sure whether these can be described as Pocky as I am not completely clear whether Pocky is the name of the brand or the product itself. Either way these are very similar to Pocky but a bit thicker than the Chocolate Almond Crunch Pocky that I reviewed the other day.
As the box was mostly in Japanese I wasn't really sure what flavor these were supposed to be but I did a bit of googling and apparently it's a chocolate biscuit stick which is coated with a later of cheese mousse (erm OK then!) and macadamia nuts and then coated with white chocolate.
Well they didn't smell "cheesy" and they didn't taste it either; these sticks were very tasty! I am guessing that the cheese is more like a cream cheese like in a cheesecake and really they should have described them as cheesecake sticks I think because that would have sounded way more appetising!
I love macadamia nuts so that was always going to be plus point for me and the biscuit part is very chocolatey. The white chocolate coating is very thick and there is only really a hint of a cream cheese taste but just enough to make them interesting.
Verdict I really enjoyed these Fran Collections Bon Macadamia Fromage Sticks and they are probably my favorite Japanese product so far! They are available from Candysan for ¥165 (about £1.06).
