6 RECIPES Homemade Pocky! Ingredients • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature • 1/4 cup sugar • 1 large egg • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract or 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract • 1 cup bread flour • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt • 4 teaspoons water, at room temperature • 9 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate Photo and Recipe Source: www.food52.com Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300° F. In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon to stir butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and extract and stir to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir to combine. Add the water and stir until smooth.

2. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a #7 plain round (3/8-inch) pastry tip. Pipe the batter onto two parchment-lined baking sheet in straight lines, about 6 inches long, at least 1/2 an inch apart. Bake until the sticks are set and light golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Let the sticks cool on the sheets on cooling racks for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter. Save the parchment-lined sheets for the next step.

3. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in a 2-cup glass measuring cup (or another microwave-safe, narrow vessel) in 15-second increments. One at time, carefully dip each stick in the melted chocolate. (Be careful. The sticks are somewhat fragile.) In order to get the chocolate up higher on the stick, tip the cup on its side and dip each stick in where the chocolate is the highest. Scrape off excess chocolate and lay each stick on the prepared sheets. Transfer the sheets to the refrigerator to set the chocolate. Store in an air-tight container in the freezer or fridge. 7 8 9 TMAC Word Search WORD BANK

Literally my second favorite Japanese candy.

Seems like a mix between a piece of gum and a jolly rancher. The taste itself is quite

CHEW pleasant, even if the texture is off. -

HI Too chewy — it tastes like gum that you

aren’t sure if you can eat.

CHOCOLATE POCKY I. Love. Pocky! <3

Crunchy pretzel/bread stick and semi bitter- sweet chocolate.

Spicy, but not as hot as I thought they would be. Surprisingly delicious!

Crunchy. And not as spicy as I thought it would be.

Smells innocent. Tastes like death.

12 PEAS WASABI

It’s like a spicy lemonhead.

Tastes like a REALLY chewy form of cough medicine.

CANDY

GINGER GINGER CHOCOLATE COOKIES CHOCOLATE

Everyone should get these <3 PANDA HELLO

Firm, if bland, cracker filled with a smooth milk chocolate that melts in your mouth.

So yummy! The filling is really good and the

outside is crispy, yet light.

I. Love. Pocky! <3

Beautifully entrances the taste buds, giving the consumer a brief moment of pure joy before leaving them with a fading taste and a hunger

for more. 10/10 would eat again.

COOKIES & COOKIES CREAM POCKY CREAM

Sweet, crunchy, and the best!

KETTLE CORN CORN KETTLE OREOS It smells like, well, kettle corn (that’s good).

Sort of tastes like butterscotch. 13

Tastes like shrimp!

Not much of a flavor.

So, so weird. But with dip… maybe?

Tastes like the forbidden offspring of a

SHRIMPCHIPS shrimp and a potato.

CAKE OREOS CAKE BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY

I need more.

Closely resembles the taste of cake and the chocolate complements the filling in

a way that is almost magical.

Smells like heaven! I don’t typically like

strawberry, but this is a-maz-ing.

Sweet filling that tastes like a watermelon licorice. The vanilla cookie base

OREOS complements it really well.

SHORTCAKE

STRAWBERRY STRAWBERRY The strawberry shortcake flavor is too over- powering. Regular Oreos forever!! 14

Tastes like peanut oil smells.

Weird texture, the salt is what saves the flavor, but barely. Still yucky. /

SALT SEAWEED SALT No thanks.

OCEAN’S HALO SEA SEA HALO OCEAN’S CRUNCHY BROWN CRUNCHYBROWN

Mmmmmm! ROLL RICE

Tastes like an unsweetened Rice Krispy Treat.

Very light snack with a crunch and hint of flavor.

Good for snacking, I want a bowl!

Salty to the point of unpleasantness.

BIN BIN BIN BIN CRACKERS Salty and sweet, but not in a good way. 15 Trivia Answers from page 11 The Zine Word Scramble 1. C 6. C 2. D 7. C Answer Key 3. A 8. A From Page 5 4. B 9. B 5. A 10.B 1.
