Shimi Choco Corn Stick
This cute star-shaped corn snack coated with chocolate is so delicious and crunchy. The taste of this snack reminded us of a childhood snack we used to have when we were younger, the Oishi Pillows Cracker filled with chocolate filling.

These sticks have a slight hint of roasted honey, and the flavour is not as strong as compared to the other flavours of the PRETZ! They tasted a bit sweet and salty simultaneously.
