The good
Lotte’s White Choco Pie is a seasonal and limited‑edition variation of their classic Choco Pie line, replacing the usual milk‑chocolate coating with a smooth white‑chocolate shell. Furthermore, the center of the sandwich has a dollop of jam in the cream, giving it an added touch of flavor. Moreover, the flavor profile shifts from the familiar cocoa richness to something lighter, creamier, and more dessert‑like. It has a more luxurious feel to it than the usual choco pie. I much prefer it to the original choco pie.
The not so good
It says on the pack "new", but this is not a brand-new product. They bring it out every year at this time of the year. I think they time it for Valentines Day. I'm not sure what they actually mean by the "new" on this pack. Also, but I can't say for sure, I think that there is less white chocolate on the outer shell than there was next year. But as I said, I am not 100% sure and I can't compare because last year's stock is well and truly gone. Speaking of, another negative of this product is that it does not last long in my house! The kids love it, so they tend to eat them all within a few hours of the pack arriving into the house.
