Today, November 19th, three products including sweets in collaboration with Morinaga & Co.'s "Twig" were released at each FamilyMart store.

I'm wondering to what level the "twig" is reproduced, which is a collaboration product of the snack "twig" that I've been familiar with since I first remembered it! So, I went to FamilyMart to buy "Twig collaboration products"!


■ There are 3 "twig collaboration products"

The "Twig-style collaboration products" released this time are all three products, "Twig-style stick eclair", "Twig-style chocolate cake", and "Twig-style chocolate & almond crunch Danish". It seems that the moderate sweetness of chocolate, the aroma of almonds, and the light texture that are all characteristic of "twigs" are reproduced.


Compare it with the original "twig". Which one is the most "twig"?


■ I tried "Twig-style stick eclair"


"Twig-style stick eclair" is a chocolate-coated "twig-style" eclair. Compared to "twigs", they don't look very similar, probably because they are rounded. Is there a lack of bumpy "branch feeling"?

When I cut it in half, the chocolate custard cream packed inside melted.


The bittersweet dough is coated with chocolate with almonds. The fluffy eclair dough is completely different from the original "twig", but can it be said that it is the same in the sense of "light texture"?

■ I tried "twig-style chocolate cake"

As the name suggests, "twig-style chocolate cake" is a chocolate cake with the image of "twigs". It's quite heavy when you bring it.

When I take it out of the bag ...


It looks like a "twig", including the bumpy almonds!


A fluffy sponge cake is wrapped in chocolate with plenty of almond crunch. The scent of Western liquor that gently passes through your nose adds a touch of luxury. The almonds have a strong crispness and the taste is close to that of "twigs"! I think.

■ I tried "Twig-style chocolate & almond crunch Danish"

"Twig-style chocolate & almond crunch danish pastry" is a danish pastry coated with almond crunch on a dough with chocolate cream folded in. It's longer than I had imagined. Is it a twig ... a big branch ...


The soft texture of Danish pastry is chocolate and plain marble. The finely crushed and fragrant almond crunch further enhances the taste. The size and texture of the twigs are thin, but they are delicious.


■ Conclusion, the most "twig" -like thing is "twig-style chocolate cake"

Overall, the most "twig" -like thing was the "twig-style chocolate cake ." The other two products have a light “twig” texture and appearance, but the taste of almond crunch and chocolate is the same as that of “twig”. The price is as low as 126-150 yen, so if you like twigs, why not give it a try?
