Author Topic: Home made Pocky? (Read 60127 times)

I just had a thought that might either blow up in my face or rock something awesome.

What if you took some sort of sweet biscuit dough, put it through a spaghetti maker? If I'm thinking correctly (and given it's late, I might not be), if you cook the cut strings, dipped them in chocolate (possibly rolling them in something while still wet), wouldn't that essentially be that which is Pocky?

Hang it to dry by the uncoated ends, and you'll even get the nice tip!

Think of the mad possibilities! Oreo pocky! Butterfinger pocky! Ramune pocky? I don't know!

I might have to try this tomorrow! I'm making an apple tart, what's the harm in making some biscuit sticks along side?

I think you'd have to get some quick-drying chocolate, or something, or it seems to me it would all drip off before it dried. Like, maybe that Magic Shell ice-cream sauce they have?

Sugarlat · « **Reply #3 on:** November 16, 2008, 12:25:02 pm »

Wouldn't you have to bake it before?
then dip it into chocolate?'I donno, I feel like I wanna try something like that.

I'm suspecting multiple dips myself. Not entirely sure. I was thinking that the chocolate might be too thick and would need to be cut a little bit with a splash of milk. Rethinking it, I'm probably wrong on that.

Either way, I'm going to use an animal cracker dough recipe as my base. I think it'll be the right biscuit crunch and be sweet enough.

o_o That's a good idea. Chocolate dip, then marshmallow, then chocolate again.

Radien · « **Reply #8 on:** November 16, 2008, 04:35:13 pm »

If you use biscuit dough, it'll have to be something with a homogenous consistency or else it will fall apart. It also would have to bake really solid to hold its shape as a stick.

I've always compared Pocky's "biscuit" portion to pretzels, albeit minus the salt. However, pretzels have a certain taste that doesn't match Pocky, so perhaps it'd be better to compare it to some sort of cookie dough.

Hmmm, how about that? Got some sort of cookie dough that'd resemble Pocky? Like shortbread, but less crumbly?

GenkiIchigo · « **Reply #9 on:** November 16, 2008, 05:57:29 pm »

This would work! I'd look for a sweet crispy breadstick recipe (I happened to see something about crispy breadsticks on tv one time, so you should find a recipe). I make chocolate dipped pretzel sticks for Christmas sometimes and the process is about the same it seems. Generally one dip into the sauce is enough, since melted chocolate hardens pretty quickly. Rolling it in toppings while it's still gooey will work too. n.n

lychee-twist · « **Reply #10 on:** November 16, 2008, 09:03:49 pm »

The great Pocky experiment has begun!

I ended up trying out an Animal cracker dough because it's both sweeter and has a biscuit consistency in the packages. I dipped it in semi-sweet chocolate.

All in all, it was both a fail and success.

I found out I don't have a spaghetti cutter, so I had to cut by hand. The animal cracker dough had oatmeal in it that I finely chopped with a blender, but I think it really was detrimental since the dough was brittle and weak after it was cut and cooked. Pretzel dough might work if I could figure out how to sweeten it (Thanks, Radien!). Ichigo, I was also thinking breadstick dough at the grocery store today, too!

The chocolate can't be just melted. It was like toothpaste consistency, even with a little butter added (apparently any liquid with melted chocolate is bad??). I need to find a recipe for a thinner chocolate. I ended up spiral rolling and scraping excess off to get an "even" coating. "Even" meaning not with a half inch of chocolate on one side only.

I took pictures if you guys want me to post them. They're not pretty, but it was my first attempt.

megchan · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2008, 09:40:10 am »

For the chocolate, you should try making it with a ganache (so just ad some hot whipping cream to melt the chocolate).

princessmoon · « **Reply #14 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:50:53 am »

Isn't that like chocolate fondue? Fruits dipped in chocolate...angel food caked dipped in choco... if you just let it dry, you'd get semi-same results. I grew up eating finger biscuits (no fingers harmed!!!) and they are just a thicker version of a non-coated pocky stick. Dip those in melted dark chocolate and melt away your world!

DARK chocolate "psycho" desu!

That's what I was going to do next. My friend made this, I don't quite know how to describe the glory of this cake, with ganache on it. I think it was just chocolate mixed with milk. That would work, I'd bet.

You know, they're not bad tasting! Grainy because of the oatmeal, but the biscuit isn't too sweet. Too much chocolate, though. They're really soft, too. It holds its shape well enough, but there's no crunch. I'm going to change the dough for sure.

mmmmmm Oreo pocky

mangakaluna · « **Reply #17 on:** November 17, 2008, 04:31:54 pm »

I'd suggest getting some fast-melting chocolate and melt it with the double boiler method. I think the last time I did chocolate dipped stuff, I added some milk to the chocolate to make it a little more liquid.

Try making giant pocky first

That may be a little easier to manage

lychee-twist · « **Reply #18 on:** November 17, 2008, 07:58:00 pm »

The First Pocky Attempt
Dough: Basic Animal cracker recipe (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Animal-Crackers/Detail.aspx)
Chocolate: Melted semi-sweet chocolate with a bit of butter

Here's the ingredients for the dough. The honey's in a Zip-Loc because I cracked open the bear accidentally. Easy enough stuff.

Mixing the dough. The oats were blended in a blender, but don't mix the entire dough in there. It doesn't work out. Amateur mistake ._.

This is the dough rolled out. You can see how the oats are in the dough. I think it made it too grainy and elastic.

The cookie strips were cut by hand. I cut them thick at first, but then I got it down to a more manageable size.

The cookie dough only puffed up in a few areas, thank goodness. A test cookie showed a lot of puffing.

Final product: full shot. This was very time-consuming work. The chocolate didn't work out too well.

Close up on the final product. In all, it's delicious, but the cookies are lumpy, rather unpleasant looking, and messy. It still worked.

I guess if I make another batch, I'll post the results. This was an easy recipe, and if you want to try, feel free. It's not pretty, but it's tasty!

only problem with this is that ganache doesn't set, which is why it makes great frosting or truffel filling

Congrats on your first attempt.

Yes, it does look yummy, despite being messy.

I'm glad you like my pretzel suggestion, though I'm not sure the taste will be quite right. Chocolate-covered pretzels are tasty, but for different reasons.

I think you'll want to avoid whole oats, no matter how finely you plan on chopping them. Also, listen to Superjaz; I had enough of her cookin' to say that she knows what she's doing.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #27 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:50:35 am »

I woke up this morning with two thoughts: "Ow. My headache's still here" and "Hmm, Superjaz said ganache doesn't set. That could be a problem".

Seriously. That's what it was. I'm wondering if I cut the salt content in the pretzel dough it might work. But pretzels tend to puff, don't they? Chocolate covered pretzels are tasty, so if it's not Pocky-like, that's perfectly fine!

I think I'm going to go for a breadstick dough first. I don't know when I'll make the next batch, but I want to keep trying.

Now if I could only remember what that dream I had was about. Darth Vader?

Have you tried getting fast-melting dipping chocolate? Mix a little milk in and it gets a little more liquid, It will still set

I sorta made pretzel pocky last year (Imagine GIANT Pocky, but pretzel

Wuntvor · « **Reply #31 on:** November 18, 2008, 06:05:55 pm »

I haven't tried this, but I found it by doing a web search.

Chocolate coated Pocky:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/8 cup sesame
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/8 cup brown sugar

1/8 cup soy bean jam (estimated, I just added the water into the jar...)
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup water

1. Mix flour, sesame, and salt
2. Cut in butter
3. Mix jam, yolk, and water, slowly add to flour mixture
4. Roll out and slice into thin strips
5. Roll into tubes and freeze, ~ 1hr
6. Bake until golden , 400F 10 min

Once the strips cool, poured microwave-melted dark chocolate on them and let them cool on saran wrap.
Once the chocolate solidifies, Pocky will easily came off the saran wrap.

It doesn't say when you put in the brown sugar. Your free to try it out and let us know how it turned out.

Gingersnaps can be a crispier dough depending on what you use. Gingerbread can be pretty tough if you cook it a little longer.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #67 on:** November 25, 2008, 03:47:57 pm »

Either one would be fine I guess XD

lychee-twist · « **Reply #68 on:** November 25, 2008, 07:38:52 pm »

Maybe we should double up the Christmas party as a "Pocky-off" if you will XD We could have a competition for it.

I doubt it'd happen, but I wouldn't mind bringing some in if someone wanted to try.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #69 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:31:32 pm »

I would love to try some and I would love to be part of it but I will only be home for a day before the party and I'll need to finish up my costume x.x

So sadly I wont be able to make any pocky.

mangakaluna · « **Reply #70 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:37:11 pm »

>3< I wanna try making pocky!!

Maybe I'll give it a go during winter break, and post pictures

lychee-twist · « **Reply #71 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:39:36 pm »

Of course! I'd love to see pictures!

Toxicon, if you make gingerbread pocky, I'd like to see pictures of those, too! I bet it'd be really pretty. Even if they come out kinda lumpy.

and tasty too. :3

I'll make some over the holidays probably for some gifts and just snacks for parties. my plan is to make some this weekend but I don't know if I will get to it. but I will try.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #73 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:44:34 pm »

Well, then the pic request goes for you as well

If you all feel like it, that is.

And if you feel especially generous, it'd be nice to know the recipe you used, too!

tofutakeout · « **Reply #74 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:48:08 pm »

alright. I'm probably just going to use one that someone posted here. or these other ones I found. we'll see. X3 I will definitely take some picture's and will be singing 'anata wa tashi mo pocky!' to myself the whole time. lol

lychee-twist · « **Reply #75 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:52:29 pm »

"Anata wa tashi mo pocky"? I don't know what that means. "Anata wa" would be "You are" but "watashi" would be "Me/I" so "watashi mo" would be "my".

"You are my pocky"?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #76 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:56:18 pm »

well the thing I said is the motto/catch phrase for advertising they use in japan. it's pretty much the tune for glico pocky. you should go look up one of the ad's, their hilarious. XD I think what they're saying is your pocky, my pocky. but with saying pocky once since the japanese language is like that.

mangakaluna · « **Reply #77 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:56:41 pm »

Human pocky doesn't taste too good

lychee-twist · « **Reply #78 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:57:29 pm »

Sure thing! Once I get home for winter break I'll see if I can find a good gingerbreak/gingersnap dough recipe.

I don't think I have a spaghetti maker though... Hmm...

mangakaluna · « **Reply #82 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:16:45 am »

What, you thought the GREEN pocky was TEA-FLAVORED?!

Soylent Pocky! New in Children, Man, and Woman flavors!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #83 on:** November 26, 2008, 12:46:36 pm »

The flavor varies from person to person! Yukyukyukyuk

Actually, I have some sweet green tea powder that I could use in the batter. That sounds pretty good...

It's meant for ice cream and drinks, but why not?

Oh no. Is THAT why they call it "Men's Pocky"?...

So, were any new Pocky flavor ideas hatched over Thanksgiving?

(Hmmm, cranberry Pocky...)

lychee-twist · « **Reply #85 on:** December 03, 2008, 12:25:07 am »

Some sort of pumpkin flavor would be good. Or apple and cinnamon

There is pumpkin flavored pocky, but it does not taste like pumpkin.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #90 on:** December 06, 2008, 11:00:38 pm »

I want you to bring some too. I would love to try it out.

Not sure if this flavor has been suggested or not but eggnog (I can't get enough of the stuff right now)

melchizedek · « **Reply #91 on:** December 06, 2008, 11:46:32 pm »

lychee-twist · « **Reply #96 on:** December 07, 2008, 05:29:18 pm »

Talking about potential recipes.

Come to think of it, I think my mom has an eggnog frosting recipe that might work well.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #97 on:** December 07, 2008, 05:39:13 pm »

tofutakeout · « **Reply #98 on:** December 07, 2008, 05:57:42 pm »

home made pocky reminds of something that I should do.

sounds so tasty. I want some now. man I haven't had pocky for awhile. only some strawberry just recently.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #99 on:** December 07, 2008, 05:59:56 pm »

yeah it's been a while for me too =/

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #100 on:** December 09, 2008, 02:25:04 pm »

The easiest way to start making Pocky is to buy plain Pretz.

Also, soylent pocky is soooooo last year....

Go dig up the Bertie Botsu Every Flavor Pocky Thread in the forum archives.

According to my sources the Pocky slogan repeated in the commercials is basically, "I am, You Are Pocky". As exemplified with the dancing zombies and the various romances, Pocky is something that everyone can enjoy no matter their differences.

To gain true Pocky Baker victory, you must supply Pocky Club with a package of Pocky that will not kill Dawn the Relations Director. Her allergies prevent her from eating many things and Pocky is unfortunately among them.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #101 on:** December 09, 2008, 05:15:05 pm »

mmm that pocky sounds delicious. XD

lychee-twist · « **Reply #103 on:** December 15, 2008, 12:33:18 am »

It's really crispy without being burnt. that's what gets me. I don't know how they do it.

*serious pocky conversation*

I didn't make Pocky for the Christmas get together. Argh. I suck.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #104 on:** December 18, 2008, 01:42:23 am »

I should try it over winter break...

Darryn-Chan · « **Reply #105 on:** December 21, 2008, 04:55:20 pm »

i wanna try! haha hello! peeps. i'm new!:)

Bundyangel · « **Reply #106 on:** December 22, 2008, 12:38:25 am »

I would totally try this! Ohmigosh.

I think ill try to make regular pocky, dipped in chocolate and either rolled in oreos or crushed peantut putter m&m's

I shall post bad cell phone pictures and youtube videos on how it goes!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #107 on:** December 22, 2008, 12:55:11 am »

Welcome welcome! I hope the forums treat you right, Darryn-chan! It gets a little nuts sometimes, but over all this is a cool place to be.

Bundyangel, yes! Please try it! I want to try rolling in oreo, too. I want to find a better chocolate covering for my pocky along with a better biscuit. It's kind of hard.

I've got to say, and I hope this doesn't insult you, your name weirds me out because it makes me think of Ted Bundy. And he was far from an angel. XD;;

Bundyangel · « **Reply #108 on:** December 22, 2008, 02:37:08 am »

No, it has nothing to do with ted bundy.

My last name in rl is Bundy, and I'm the youngest in the family, and so treated like the angel. So that's where it comes from.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #109 on:** December 23, 2008, 07:00:55 pm »

first i have to say:
Bundyangel your icon is so epic!

And I'm starting on making my "pocky" now
I'll try and take some pictures!

Mine? Yeah. Kinda. I want better chocolate and biscuit personally, but it was pocky-ish.

They brought back the Marble style Pocky for Valentine's day.

Looks like chocolate with a Rasberry swirl or a mixed Berry swirl. Mmmmm.

The new Tsubu (chunky) flavor is KIWI!
