Japanese Snacks Candies Part II
Someone please translate these Japanese Candy and Snacks???
We ate a couple more of the Japanese snacks we bought from Jas mart a few days ago. This time we had one that was also very light and puffy on the inside and had a very thin coat of chocolate. From the outside it looked like a kit kat but after breaking apart, you’ll see in the cross section photo that it’s got a hollow center. Kind of like the corn potato Japanese snack we ate the other day. 
Overall I like this one a lot better than the corn one. It still has a little savory spice but the chocolate kind of evens it out.
This one says in Chinese “Bing Tai Han” which roughly means Mr Candy. Maybe a more macho type of dude in fact - (Think Hulk Hogan and Slim Jim.) Anyways after we opened the bag it was a bunch of little sissy corn puffs with one peanut. 
Is the peanut a mistake or do they just kind of skimp out on peanuts? Anyhow each piece is about the size of a Captain Crunch but the taste is almost identical to corn chips. Once again a fluffy airy consistency but this time with the taste of corn chips. We liked this one too - it’s something totally unexpected. Hopefully someone can translate these and give us some background on the Japanese Candy and Snacks.
