Meiji Choco Baby Milk Chocolate Pellets

When I was a schoolboy, a chocolate treat was popular among us. 

Especially, when we went on an excursion somewhere as a school event, some liked to take the candy because it was not just yummy, but its container was convenient to carry around. 

Even now, the chocolate called “Choco Baby (チョコベイビー)” is available everywhere in Japan, and today I got it at a supermarket for the first time in a while.

Choco Baby was introduced by the leading Japanese food company Meiji in 1965. I think the old-fashioned classical package design has hardly changed from my childhood.

As you can see in the photo above, Meiji is one of the official partners of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics Games.

When you remove the outer packaging, you can clearly see lots of teeny-weeny chocolate pellets in the plain plastic container. 

The plastic box is handy as the red lid can be easily opened and closed any number of times.

These tiny cylindrical milk chocolate pellets have a gentle cacao flavor and a smooth, creamy texture, making them easy to eat for kids.
