Sunyoung Popping Candy Choco Sticks are a snack made by the popular Korean confectionery brand SUNYOUNG. They consist of thin, crispy chocolate-coated sticks filled with popping candy. Popping candy is made by trapping carbon dioxide (CO₂, food additive E290) under high pressure inside sugar crystals — when placed in the mouth, saliva causes the carbonation to release, creating a distinctive crackling and popping sensation. The flavour is based on sweet chocolate and vanilla, and the stick itself is light and crispy. No preparation is needed; simply open the pack and enjoy as a snack, or use as a topping for ice cream or cake for extra fun.

This product is suitable for vegetarians. It contains no meat, fish, or seafood ingredients. However, it is not vegan.

This is a snack with a high sugar content (30% sugar, approximately 39g per 100g) and high fat content (approximately 24g per 100g, using palm oil and shortening). The main ingredients are sugar, wheat flour, vegetable fat (fully hydrogenated palm oil), glucose syrup, cocoa powder (4%), and sweet whey powder, with added vanilla flavouring. Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight and avoid hot or humid environments. Store in a cool, dry place. The popping candy is highly sensitive to moisture — exposure to humidity will cause the carbonation to dissipate, resulting in loss of the popping sensation. Once opened, seal tightly and consume promptly.
