How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part – making our Pocky de Chá Verde e Peppero! Follow these simple steps:

1. Start by melting the white chocolate chips. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
2. Once melted, stir in the matcha green tea powder until well combined. This will give your Pocky that beautiful green color and a lovely flavor!
3. Dip each Pocky stick into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
4. While the chocolate is still wet, roll the sticks in crushed peppermint candies or sprinkles for a festive touch!
5. Place the coated Pocky sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool until the chocolate hardens. You can speed up this process by placing them in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Pocky sticks turn out perfectly:

• Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
• Experiment with different toppings like crushed nuts or coconut flakes.
• Make a double batch – they disappear quickly!
• For a fun twist, try using dark chocolate or milk chocolate instead of white.
• Keep your workspace clean by using a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare these Pocky sticks in advance, you can! Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you live in a warm climate, consider refrigerating them to keep the chocolate from melting. They’re perfect for those busy weeknights when you need a quick snack or a sweet treat after dinner.
