Happy Pocky Day! What's pocky? A Japanese sweet snack that looks like a thin stick with glazing. What's Pocky Day? A holiday made up to sell more pocky, celebrated since 1999 on November 11th. No, really. That's the origin, and apparently it actually has a memorial day status in Japan. Why November the 11th in particular? Becuase 11/11 looks like a bunch of pocky sticks strewn about. Yes, really.
Pocky coatings are usually chocolate, strawberry, or matcha cream, but of course you can add nuts to practically anything, and this is no exception. The most common nutty pocky variants are almonds and peanut butter.
