The description

This product is called the Apple & Custard Minions Chococro, and it's a limited time offering from St. Marc Cafe. It was priced at 420 yen including tax. 


The good

If you're eagerly awaiting the arrival of the newest Minions movie, then St. Marc Cafe's new collaboration range is a nice head start on it. This Apple & Custard Minions Chococro is delicious, and it combines two of my favorite things. I feel like the custard was an excellent choice (Minion yellow approved!) and it also contains apple preserves from Aomori Prefecture. Flavor wise I think that's a match made in heaven, so I've got no complaints with the taste! If you find yourself really enjoying it, you can buy it in a multipack of 5 for 1900 yen, which works out to be 380 yen each as opposed to 420 yen for one on its own.


The not so good

This is more expensive than a standard chococro -- not by a huge amount, but it's noticeable nonetheless. If you're just looking for a sweet treat and you're not swayed hugely by flavor or collaboration cuteness, then I would opt for something else. Overall though, I think this is a delish item, and that applies even if you're not at all into Minions. The combination of custard and apple is really wonderful, and I wish this was a permanent item on their menu. I hope you enjoy it if you do end up giving it a try -- happy eating! :)
