The "CHOCO PIE" I am introducing here is not a crust dough one like an apple pie, but a soft cake pie like a whoopie pie. Maybe you all already knew that.🙄

Packaging

This is a value pack, so it contains 9 Choco Pies. (I eat a lot, so I usually buy the value pack🤣)

I get so excited when I see this shiny package! 
Choco Pie seems like a relatively high-end product among everyday snacks.

By the way, the reason this package (and the outer package as well) has ribbons on it is because it is Valentine's Day-specific.
This is because it is customary in Japan, it is customary to send chocolates on Valentine's Day. I will write about this in another article next time.

Feature

It is a flat soft cake with cream in between and the whole cake is covered with chocolate. Gleaming and exciting!

This is a chocolate pie made by Lotte, but there is also a famous chocolate pie made by Morinaga in Japan called Angel Pie. Angel Pie is a soft cake with marshmallow in between instead of cream.

This is one of the bigger Japanese snacks. Japanese snacks are usually small.

Look at this beautiful cross-section!😍

The outer chocolate coating is crunchy. The soft cake is fluffy. And the contrast between the two is delicious!
The cream between the soft cakes tastes a little cheap, but perhaps that complements the cake and the chocolate.
When you eat it, you can smell a little bit of alcohol (brandy maybe?). 

Tips for Eating Deliciously

Let me share with you the best way to eat.

CHOCO PIE (chocolate soft cake of Japanese snack)


1.  Pour a little milk on top of the Choco Pie.

2. Heat it in the microwave. When the chocolate coating looks soft and glossy, that is the time to stop. Wait in front of the microwave so as not to miss this moment.
