Finally! Got around to this. I had previously posted about Lotte’s “Premium Ghana” choco pie, but have neglected this, their standard choco pie, which by the way is sub-labeled Premium Quality.
“Fill your mouth with a pleasure of rich chocolate flavor everyday.”
It seems Lotte is second only to Orion in terms of the leading brand of choco-pie. I can barely tell the difference. I think Orion’s original invention is squishier. Non-Koreans will say that the less squish the better, but there’s so much nostalgia that Koreans associate with the squishiness.

Ingredients: wheat flour, sugar, corn syrup, vegetable fat, shortening, whole milk powder, cocoa mass, cocoa powder, lactose, sodium bicarbonate (E500), lecithin, vanillin, vanilla flavor, vegetable oil (palm), sorbitol (E420).
