Super-sweet chocolate + crunchy cookies = Black Thunder
It had been a really, really long time since I'd had Black Thunder. It was hugely popular for a while, and I was obsessed with it in elementary school. I heard you couldn't even buy it in Japan back then!
I think one of my classmates brought back a bag to hand out to everyone, and everyone looked at them like they were a celebrity. It was hilarious 😆
I was no exception, because I also wanted to taste what everyone was scrambling to get〜
Sure enough, it tasted extra special. I also had a huge sweet tooth back then. Wow, it was so good〜 I really wanted another one.
Back then, anyone who had Black Thunder was a celebrity. Elementary school was so simple and uneventful, haha.
But now,
when I see it at a convenience store, I don't even feel like buying it. So funny.
I've noticed that chocolate products often cause buying frenzies in Taiwan. Does everyone remember the dirty chocolate bun?

Black Thunder has a rich chocolate flavor that’s sweet without being overwhelming. The crispy cookies and rice crackers create plenty of texture and a satisfying crunch. It’s affordable and comes in various limited-edition flavors, making it a classic snack and souvenir worth picking up when visiting Japan.

Japan’s super popular Black Thunder chocolate!
The name sounds intense, and eating it feels like getting struck by lightning from all the sweetness.
Every time I go to Japan, someone in my family always asks, “Can you bring back some Black Thunder?”
Personally, I think the sweetness is off the charts, and after one bar I want a cup of unsweetened tea. But my family just keeps eating one after another and can’t stop!
Crispy biscuits mixed with rich chocolate, tasty and budget-friendly. No wonder it’s been popular in Japan for so many years. You can often spot it in supermarkets and convenience stores.
For me, it’s a “sweetness overload alert.”
For my family, it’s “the No. 1 must-buy item in Japan” 😂 -
