Even more Pocky!

Last night the kids got to visit the set of their fave tv show Pair of Kings (season 3 premieres Monday June 18!) and one of their favorite characters on the show is Lanny, played by Ryan Ochoa.

The kids wanted to give the cast gifts, so they brought boxes of Pocky for everyone. Turns out Ryan had never had Pocky!

It's a great snack but I also use it in baking and even made Pocky Ice Cream. That's some Pocky love right there. Here's a Pocky rundown with a few updates!

Back in the day there was only chocolate but now there are so many more options! Striped Pocky, Mango Pocky, Matcha Pocky, Men's Pocky (it's bittersweet chocolate), vanilla Pocky, Hello Kitty pocky - and here are just a few more that I am lucky enough to find on the regular in my local store:

 This is a new one, Peanut Butter Pocky!

 Good 'ol Strawberry Pocky. A favorite of the Baby's...and Yoda.

 Thomas Pocky! The kids loved this when they were toddlers and really, really, reallllly into Thomas trains.

 Almond Pocky is a sophisticated treat. Lots of texture and crunch.

 Pumpkin Pocky, a rare seasonal treat I used these in my Boys Day cupcakes!

 

This is my fave: GIANT POCKY! I used these as edible Mr. Pointy's when I did the Buffy the Vampire Slayer birthday party. People loved them!

 I love these because they made the Pocky sticks into HEART SHAPES! OMG the cuteness!

Salty Pocky is a newcomer, with the whole salty-sweet trend on the rise, it's a given.

This is the latest to hit the shelves here in America, Panda Pocky. Too adorable. Basically a cookies 'n cream Pocky but the white+black is so obviously Panda-esque how could you not buy it?

So many different varieties, I'll admit I do love the original chocolate the best. I'll keep updating as I find more, I've always got my eye out for new Pocky!
