This is a Colombian chocolate candy called Chokis. The brand is Sonrie’s and interestingly enough, it is made by the company Frito Lay. Sonrie in Spanish means “smile,” so hopefully like Frito Lay’s chips, this too will make me smile. According to the wrapper, these are “chocolatosas y deliciosas” which translates out to “chocolatey and delicious.” But is it true?

The packaging is pretty simple and has a picture of round chocolate balls in different sizes. Upon opening it, however, I found that the chocolates are pretty much the same size, similar to Whoppers but slightly smaller. Also, these chocolate balls are really, really light and feel as if they are hollow on the inside. On the wrapper, the candy is described as “Bolitas de Maiz Cubiertas con Chocolate” which means “Balls of corn covered with chocolate.” After biting into one, it reminds me of chocolate with rice crisps. But remember, this is made with corn and is a lot more airy than rice crisps. They still have a slight crunch to them, but if you prefer a bigger crunch, you can always refrigerate them a little.

Overall, I actually like these Chokis a lot. The bag is a small 18 gram bag of chocolates for 95 cents. It may seem pricey for how small the bag is, but it actually has a decent amount of chocolate balls in it. I can’t give you the exact number due to how excited I got when opening the package. I just started popping them into my mouth without counting. The lightness of the corn crisps makes it really easy to devour a handful without even knowing about it. I really think these Chokis would taste great mixed in a bag of popcorn (But after the popcorn has cooled down, of course, otherwise you’d get melty chocolate which is a no-no).
