Hi, so I’m trying to find out what these bars are made of, and pretty much every discussion of them I’ve found says that they’re made of cocoa cookies and **japanese-style rice puffs** (e.g. https://www.japancandystore.com/blogs/okashi/black-thunder).
**But** – the white puffs in the bars don’t really look like rice puffs, and the actual ingredients list makes no mention of rice (Ingredients: Wheat flour, Sugar, Vegetable oil, Defatted milk, Powdered whole milk, Lactose, Cocoa powder, Cocoa mass, Shortening, Salt, Powdered whey (milk), Sweetener (Sorbitol), Leavening agent, Emulsifier, Egg calcium, Flavouring, Soya bean. Contains: Wheat, Milk, Whey, Egg, Soybean).
So I’m wondering, what the hell are those puffs, and why does *everyone* seem to (falsely) think they’re rice puffs??
